And empathy is, of course, the basis of morality.
Btw, it isn't “assassination culture” at work here, Washington Post headline writers.
It’s gun culture.
In other news, we've had 46 school shootings so far this year in the U.S.
Oh, wait, that's not news any more, is it? Too common.
As Jim McNutt observed, “I see a lot of outrage over a shooting today. Where are your posts asking for prayers for the kids murdered in school today? Oh yeah, I forgot, that's just ‘the cost of the 2nd amendment.’”
Access to guns everywhere at all times now gives Americans the freedom to murder each other over political crack-pottery, childhood curiosity, too many drinks at the bar, not getting laid enough and the last parking space. The color of freedom is innocent red, and you can see it swirling down the street gutters.
The fact that the Washington Post is afraid to call the Charlie Kirk shooting the result of "gun culture," not "asssassination culture," tells you why these gun homicides will continue to rage in this country
ReplyDeleteThe term "empathy" was introduced to the English language by British psychologist Edward B. Titchener 116 years ago. A community college dropout wouldn't know that, of course.
