America, the Violent

Ugly day today.
One of many.
And sure, limit "assault" weapons. beef up gun control.
But you're fooling yourself to think there isn't a bigger, uglier, systematic problem going on here.
It's in our modern DNA -- America 2012.
10-plus years of brutal warfare.
Just as brutal  -- even more graphic -- movies, video games, television shows.
A "sport," called MMA which we watch -- all shits and giggles as a young man is battered unconscious by another young man's elbow -- just like our grandparents spied a friendly baseball game so many moons ago.
But the money flows, grows.
And we sit back, wonder why?
Why this shit happens?
These truths, in part, are tactics employed by our military in order to get men to kill men.
And it works.
And right now, this very moment, there's a kid sitting Indian-style, flat-screen cast blue, eyes-wide, eating this shit up,
waiting his turn...
