Look Around. What Do You See? Hear...Take In... Help to CREATE?

By this time, we've all had our fill of a vengeful, angry little twerp who shot up a room in a coed gym because he thought he was entitled to women and couldn't get any. And why not?

Doesn't this culture preach licentiousness?

Satiation on demand?

Don't we pride ourselves on a lack of patience by having our technology and our cellphones at our ears every moment? Access to the internet on our I-phones rife with texting and dating sites? Meet up places everywhere where anything goes... with the freedom to flirt and tease and bare it all in places like Facebook and MySpace?

Don't we join Fitness Centers where folks can ogle one another, not realizing that the angry little twerps might just be there as well, their freedom to ogle and seethe, unimpeded?

Are we ready to admit this is a culturally systemic problem, and the only wonder is that this sort of acting out doesn't happen more often?

I saw this picture in the local news. Flowers and balloons and tribute for the victims....and a pair of the shortest running shorts being worn front and center.



(Yeah. I'm probably gonna get a lot of flack for that, but people, think.)

What messages are being sent?

If you care about exercise, what's wrong with a women's health club? Why parade around in a place for both sexes if you're not looking for dates? What about the all the NUTS the internet is creating, sitting and stewing like some sort of 'Taxi Driver' characters and waiting till the voices in their brains get persistent enough so they decide to do something about missing out on some imagined gravy train that's plastered all OVER the TV, the net, music videos, commericals?

Think about it. Don't sell yourself cheap. These things happen....

can happen, anywhere. Just think about what you participate in and what you help to create, even subconsciously... and what messages are being sent. Am I saying 'they were asking for it?' No. Not at all. But be mindful...because that's exactly what the nuts will think.

Sometimes......it's a matter of life and death.

P.S.- As to the perp's online diary, anyone who give credence to one word of that thing is a damn fool. I have never in my life read such an evil pack of lies meant to hurt and malign all those he had a grudge against. He knew online media. He knew this stuff would create a buzz and circulate and recirculate, damaging all those he hated in life, long after he was gone. Dismiss it.

It's one hundred percent, unadulterated bullshit.
