Murder, one on one, one on many, or many on many, never is and never has been about………the rock tethered to the stick, the blade, the infected blanket, the chemical, the explosion, or the fire arm.
Nor has it been the temperature outside or visitors from a different solar system.
If you don’t believe in some kind of God, than at least believe in Darwin…….. but whom ever or which ever you believe in, do some reading and and educate yourself on the nature of man. Where we are today is far, far, far from humans first rodeo. This is a well worn and travelled road.
Since humans learned to record their past they’ve recorded the rise and fall of countless civilizations. There are a finite number of cause and effects, for humans to behave the way they do, and weaponary are simple the most available tool to carry out what their mind compeles them to do.
If they can’t get a semi-auto, or a nuclear missile, they’ll use a rock or poison the water.
It’s the human mind that needs to be addressed. As a civilization, it will always corrects itself, if left to itself, so if we continue to blame the tool and not the human or humans (you and I), a self correction is definitely going fix it. That is a truth as reliable as gravity.
This just based on a few thousand years of recorded human behavior but…….just go a head and continue to ignore it you like.
How are you betting?
