Why

It happened again. “People are asking how such an event could happen in a country that prides itself on tough gun control laws.” They suppose that they are sitting on high moral ground, by being so horrified that a person could walk into a college and start shooting But …
The rest of the world has lived with this for a long long time They never stop to consider, why was our country not like this and why is it now ? ? There are bad people, Crime has always been and will always be with us, but something has changed. Why? I have asked the question before and I ask it again, why did Iraq or Iran or Arabia not put a man on the moon 3000 years ago or 2 or 1000 years ago. Why did India not put a man on the moon millenniums ago? Or China? Why did it take The USA to do it, a country only a fraction of the age of those other countries? I dare to suggest that it is their religion. When was the last time that a country published far and wide “In God we Trust”? BUT We have left God. In leaving God we have left moral absolutes. In leaving moral absolutes we have left ourselves wide open to anything and everything including this.
We have traded freedom for tolerance (unless of course it is MY stuff or ME that gets destroyed and then we sue).
