MASS MURDER -- MORE REALITY


This post is another thoughtful and accurate treatise on the state of our culture and the crime that is perpetrated by bad, misguided policy. BY DR. ROBERT WARREN, PhD

VIRTUAL VIOLENCE, DEPRAVITY AND MASS MURDER

Another mass murder at a gun free zone, and another attack on the right to bear arms. The avoidance of reality and common sense, and its replacement with political correctness. The debauched culture of society, and its impact on the mental state of everyone.
The television, movie and video game industries have made graphic gore and human mutilation into entertainment akin to the gladiatorial games in ancient Rome. It wasn’t too long ago that the Lone Ranger shot the gun out of the badman’s hand. Today, he would have plugged him the right between the eyes, had Tonto gut him, and then turn the remains over to Doc to have a complete autopsy for everyone to see.
How do we even know that there is a badman? The Lone Ranger is the one wearing the mask. And after all, there is no right or wrong, - just a reminder not to judge anything or anybody. A kid wearing Goth or vampire clothes to school is no different than a kid wearing a school uniform. They are just different expressions of personal uniqueness. A school, therefore, is not only a gun free zone but a value free zone where morality and spirituality have been banished.
And what if that badman is on drugs to control his behavior? We dispense psychotropic drugs like candy to calm our children, - and this is especially the case when one of these kids is hyper, or weird, or troubled. In one study, upwards of 90% of the most recent mass murderers are both mentally ill and on drugs. This ought to suggest that these drugs have unintended side affects such as eliminating all human inhibitions and enhancing violent tendencies. But, after all, most kids aren’t adversely affected --- or are they?
And what if the badman is actually mentally ill? So he killed lots of people, shouldn’t we have known he was going to do this and incarcerated him? Well, incarceration can’t be done without judicial types of processes that protect his individual rights against abuse. The badman has as much right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as anybody else. We rightfully celebrate our freedoms even for the least of us and revoking them should be done with the greatest of caution.
Should we be surprised that virtual, digitally enhanced violence, moral depravity, the drug culture and mass murder are all connected? Frankly, it would be surprising if they were not. Will there be more mass murders of children? It is hard to imagine that their won’t and certainly not until we change our culture one person, and one politician at a time.

AMERICAN AIRLINES -- MORE ABOUT UNIONS AND CH 11

I apologize for the structure of the post below, with no segmentation, but the system refuses to do it my way. To my post yesterday re AMR's chapter 11 filing relating my experiences over many years flying with AA, an AA pilot wrote a thoughtful comment that caused me to think a bit more about the precursors to conditions of their bankruptcy. Frankly, I have what is perhaps too much experience with trade unions and their excesses, but know less about others such as the airlines. After learning more about the negotiations of AA with their unions, I now think it's justifiable to post the comments below. I've seen too many industries destroyed by union excesses coupled with management incompetence in caving to excess demands. Start with coal (dead for many years), steel, textiles, shoes, electronics manufacturing, and more.  The Detroit 3 (once the big 3) deserves special mention. As their costs rose to $72/hour (fully loaded) and costs in the southern industry w...

LEFTIST MIND-SET OF TODAY -- REFLEXIVE, THOUGHTLESS SUPPORT FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

"Trying to persuade a prejudiced mind is as Sisyphean as trying to open a closed mind is Quixotic." Mann, May 2012 In a blog post herein below on May 1, 2013, I outlined what we who manage people and enterprises know as absolutes about performances of people who are put into management and supervisory positions for which they haven't requisite qualifications. For those who have progressed through several jobs to their level of incompetence, this is known as the Peter Principle as defined by Laurence J. Peter. In all likelihood, all who have managed people for any length of time have seen this principle played out. While Peter's observation applies to progression through multiple job levels, if a person is put into any job for which he is unqualified, the concept is also valid. Elective political positions is where I see this most often played out. The election of Barack Obama as President of the United States is the most significant example of this in my lif...

ETHANOL -- The worst mandate ever gets even worse

When politicians get control of science and the inept or dishonest scientists, nothing good comes of it. There are many examples -- global warming (aka climate change) is the most prominent. The ethanol mandate, although a part of the climate change mania, stands on its own as arguably the most ridiculous mandate of all time. President Jimmy Carter, who was influenced by a misguided college professor, can be charged with the mistake of promulgating the ethanol mandate.  Of course, Al Gore is the politician who played the global warming issue like a drum and has benefited financially from it. Use of ethanol in motor fuel is not a net positive either in costs or in impact on the environment.... enormous hype to the contrary notwithstanding. Ethanol does not have the positive effect on the environment as touted. It has only about 60% of the specific energy of petroleum fuel, which begs use of more fuel to achieve the same energy as petroleum fuel. And, so it does. I have my own exp...
