Recently I wrote about how legalized gambling in America has not yet reached the depths of a fading Rome, when patrons bet on gladiators in coliseums.
When I saw David Muir broadcasting outside an Asian dance studio in Monterey Park, I realized we were almost there. We’re using real-life mass violent deaths for nightly entertainment.
Why mass shootings happen? The “distant” (distant) reason is a lack of sufficient satisfaction in social relationships. The “near” (nearby) reason is the candy-like availability of automatic weapons. The overall reason is that our libertarian philosophy says we can’t regulate the companies that make and sell weapons or the consumers who buy them because. . . Excellent. . . free.
But we can educate people not to use the battlefield weapons they just bought, bury them with their victims, and tune in to the next mass event, probably tomorrow night.
