Our Violent Society

On Feb 14, Valentine's Day, a 19-year old man entered a Florida high school and randomly murdered 17 students and teachers.

Every opinion needs to come towards the middle for the sake of our children and country. Tighter gun control alone won’t solve the problem, but it will help. Gun buyback programs alone won’t solve the problem, but they will help. Stopping the production of and patronizing violent movies, video games, and TV shows won’t solve the problem alone, but it will help. Putting more counselors and social workers in classrooms to identify and mitigate high risk students won’t solve the problem alone, but it will help. Increasing the physical security and presence of armed security in our schools, churches, and other public gatherings won’t solve the problem alone, but it will help. Publicly emphasizing the importance of Golden Rule civility and better parenting won’t solve the problem alone, but it will help. We need a national campaign comprised of political, corporate, and religious leadership. It needs to be organized now. It needs to stay active and work on this problem for the next 10 years. We need a leader.
