Posted: Dec 17, 2012
bickering, name calling, and bullying about who is possibly right or wrong on this problem! All the verbal attacks in the world are not going to change anything, and the mass murders will continue while everyone is focused on "their side" of who is right and who is wrong. Situations like this should "bring us together" to try to find a realistic solution to the problem and fix it! All this arguing back and forth is only a breeding ground for more dissention and leads to things like CT happening in any form, anywhere. ANGER is the problem, not guns or the lack thereof, or all the controls, laws, regulations, or anything else. Just look how much ANGER is being spread on this board alone just because someone disagrees with someone else's point of view. We all have our points of view, but it is driving us apart and creating even more ANGER. STOP pointing fingers at each other and have a true conversation about how to address the REAL problem!

Anger is A problem here, not THE problem. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]It is intrinsic to the grieving process, to complex mental health issues under discussion and to the to the evolving political rhetoric that surrounds this issue. Suppressing it makes no sense to me, considering the inescapable emotional overlay here. Quite the opposite. In therapeutic settings, one cannot get past it unless and until it has been identified, explored, and expressed. Any other approach to it does not typically yield healthy movement beyond it toward goal-setting for conflict resolution. Within a political context, it is a powerful motivating force.
I think gun control and mental healthcare advocates are turning a page, wherein they are determined not to relive Aurora's aftermath, where outrage was followed up with inaction. It's been 5 short months since that happened. It is inappropriate and unacceptable to many that it has remained buried until now. I doubt cosmetic tweaks here and there will suffice. The time has come for a much more comprehensive approach.
Personally, I do not want to EVER forget this chapter we now traverse. I want to immerse myself in every image, word, thought and deed, so as to permanently embed awareness of its totality in my memory, much in the same way I experienced that process as a young teen 50 years ago after the assassination of President Kennedy. For me, part of that process means pausing long enough to thoroughly indulge the anger, not avoid it, before moving on.

Did you ever think that we would not have had to spend millions to investigate if Hildabeast had been an honest person and still we got no justice for all our hard earned money.

I Cannot Stop Thinking AboutNov 03, 2010
by another employee of my company. She has suffered many hardships since working for this company. She has lost her home, her car, and recently had to visit a food pantry just to get something to eat. She didn't specify in her post, but I'm certain she has tried to find something else for quite a while now, for I think we all know that jobs aren't nearly as easy to come by as they used to be. I have been thinking a lot about her lately and will be praying f ...
Stop With The InsultsMay 19, 2012
There are way too many posts that are insulting other posters. This needs to stop. I'm already reading messages from posters who are not happy with me deleting their posts, yet they are clearling insulting the poster they replied to. Keep the conservations about issues. Do not call the side you don't agree with names. If you voice your opinion about an issue that is one thing. Calling a group of people names for the sole purpose of inflamming other ...

God Is The Only One Who Can Stop HillaryOct 07, 2016
I do not believe God wants Hillary in office to continue Obama's ruination of our country. I keep praying to God to stop Hillary. Trump just seems to get his foot stuck in his mouth and now this sex stuff isn't helping. I have to say JFK was a womanizer, so just because Trump is like he is does not mean he would not be a good president. Maybe he should step aside for Governor Pence. You'd get a marvelous president in him. ...

Stop The Negative Posts Please Mar 22, 2010
Since the bill has passed, why the pointless negative posts. It is no secret I was opposed to passage, but the reality is, it did. Now is the time for people to come together instead of continuing with the divisive behaviors. As I said below, no one really knows what the passage of this bill will bring to us. we have ideas, speculations, fears, hopes, but no one actually knows. how about we wait and see how it plays out. And once again, as I said below, I will ...
GOP: Stop Punishing The UnemployedApr 12, 2010
Coburn and his ilk are poised to replay the Bunning debaucle of last month as the Senate goes to work today on debating ANOTHER temporary 30-day unemployment benefits extension in advance of the larger measure that would extend benefits until the end of the year. Dems are prepared to empower the pubs by ignoring their own Paygo measures, rather than diffusing the pub argument and exposing them for the obstructive hypocrites we all know they are as both parties line up to mak ...

We Have To Stop Calling The Republican PartySep 24, 2012
a political party...they're not. They're a cult. Facts and reality do not matter to these people.

They've convinced millions that the best way to achieve economic prosperity is through facilitating more power and wealth towards the greedy at the expense of everyone else. T ...
