#oakcreek As I sign off Twitter I need to ask... When will enough be enough? When will we stop fearing our neighbors? When will we all grow up and talk about our ridiculous obsession with guns? When will the mass media stop feeding us a diet of fear that scares us all into believing every stranger we see is a potential threat? When will we take back control of our country? When? I have no idea. But, something's got to happen. And soon.
When CNN and all the other news organizations have finished explaining the difference between Sikhs and Muslims, perhaps they will remember to mention something about gun control?
I go to bed tonight sad in the knowledge that yet another fatal shooting has occured in #oakcreek .
I send out all Metta meditation to those affected by this terrible tragedy, and all compassion to those who are now dealing with yet another massacre of our own making.
If you haven't already, you really MUST read this article, written after the #aurora shootings... http://www.tnr.com/blog/plank/105337/yes-really-ban-all-the-guns#.UB7lo6F9OlU.twitter
