Man's inhumanity to man - #2 of n

Periodically, life stirs the pot with a big stick and this time - just to pick one in the last few hours, in the days of the lives of those living in "the (not so) good ol' U.S.of A." - San Bernardino, CA. gets whacked. These mass shootings usually come from out of nowhere - that is, nobody realizes what's about to happen until it's too late to do anything about it, but hide, cower in fear, run away, or submit to the inevitable. "What a shame", says everyone after the fact, and "Our hearts go out to their families", and still nothing is ever done to change the situation in a meaningful way. In fact, it's getting worse, here and in most other places.

This is a comment on the BRAINS of human beings, because - and of this you can be quite certain - such things are not happening in the animal kingdom, even if someone tries to stand up and make an utter fool of themselves by suggesting otherwise. Only human BRAINS feel the necessity to GO TO WAR with other beings, and in the case of humans, that even includes NON-humans in some notable cases which they quickly rationalize and justify by pointing to a need for their land, or the food of their flesh, or many other things. To call this an issue of "radical Islamic terrorists" won't work, because those who are, can't stop it and won't stop it. To call this an issue of gun ownership, or gun legislation, is too simplistic because 99% of those who own guns would never consider declaring WAR on other beings. Damaged human BRAINS are on the increase, not the decrease, and this is easy to discern, and understanding the Whys and the Wherefores of this condition is everyone's responsibility before we reach the tipping point.

People everywhere are heard saying "There is nothing we can do about any of this!" and from one point of view, they are correct. But THAT point of view is tantamount to "All it will take for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing."  Not only is Intelligence catching, so is Stupidity, and when a person "hangs around" the Stupids, they themselves become one of the Stupids. But then, just look at most TV, radio, Internet chat rooms, and Social media venues, and see if you can perceive this tendency bubbling up from the bottom. But... not only there... it is bubbling up IN YOU, in your human BRAIN, and although you are not quite aware of this moment-by-moment, it is, nevertheless, occurring. (Just look right now. See it?) Amidst all that noise, it is really any wonder that some people can so easily fall into a descending spiral of bad thoughts, sour emotions, and hateful rhetoric that actually SEEMS to make sense. This is the Land of the Stupids, and your only salvation is to rise above it and achieve the World of the Intelligents.
