The Last Word on Tucson

prisons cannot serve as holding cells for the mentally unstable; most mentally challenged people aren’t charged with a crime until they commit one

Of all of the dialogue surrounding the Arizona attack, very little was focused on remedying the cause. The politi-sphere won’t admit that it allowed hateful and harmful language to contaminate the hate for progressive policies. The right won’t admit that guns cause big holes in people; the left won’t admit that they failed America by not legislating gun-control laws when they had the chance. As a matter of fact, a gun show was held at the Pima County Fairgrounds, not far from the site of the shooting…just a week after the tragedy. The organizers elected to continue with their plans to hold the gun show despite any possible “insensitivity” that may incur.

What this tells us is that, in a capitalist society, money overrules ethics, morals or anything else that should precede your concern for the general welfare of the greater part of America. People talked long & loud about 9-year old Christina Taylor Greene who was also shot and killed in the attack, but no one will protect her innocence by eliminating the possibility of other little girls being killed by the human killing machines, known as guns. There’s too much money tied up in this commodity; therefore Americans choose to let our children remain at risk.

When it’s all over, said and done, much has been said, and nothing will be done to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again. In the final analysis, the final word on Tucson is that nothing has changed, in perfect line with the meaning of traditional conservatism.
