Will this event further detriorate our society's confidence in its safety and security? Will it inflame the fear already built by government and media sponsors of exaggerating isolated incidents of violence? Will the VT shootings incite people to place more bars of isolation around themselves? Will our citizens voluntarily demand a stricter police state than already exists?
OR will this event cause our society to examine its soul and ask, "what are we doing to ourselves and one another for this to happen"?
I am concerned that, our self-possessed little world dependent upon reaction rather than thoughtful action will lead to the former rather than the latter.
The 'emotive', NOT the 'reasoned' seems to rule, here. That concerns me, greatly.
