Diversity Makes Greatness
I just had an idea; so let me throw this out there to see what people think of it.
We have a huge and terrible problem with people going bonkers and then conducting mass shootings of innocent people.
Often times, these shooters are so crazy they don't even care if they live or die.
Many times they hate their own life so much that they do want to die, and they think it will be fun or maybe their one last chance to 'get even with the world,' if they can kill as many other people as possible on their last day on Earth.
Obviously, these are really messed up people.
Fortunately most really messed up people are not this violent or deranged.
But that doesn't mean we don't have a lot of really messed up people in this country.
And we pay a huge price for it. The mass shootings are the crux of it, but we pay in many other ways.
People are mean, chintzy, shallow, hateful, spiteful, selfish, uncaring, insulting and greedy. They will completely disregard the feelings and concerns of others. Just take a drive in any major city for a quick example of this. It won't be long before somebody is rude to you and threatens your life with a callous disregard for your very safety. Over nothing. A few seconds of time.
All of this hatred and selfishness hurts our society, holds us back, prevents us from doing so much, prevents us from achieving great goals.
Hatred is wrong. Our nation is full of hatred. There are a lot of really sad people out there!
PoliTalker anti-troll thread thief disclaimer: If this thread is stolen, plagiarized, will the thief have the nerve to use the entire OP, word for word? Including this disclaimer? If you want my take on it, you'll have to post to this original PoliTalker thread. I refuse to be an enabler for online bullies, so I won't post to a stolen thread. I won't even read it. If you don't see me, PoliTalker, posting in this thread check the author. This might be a hijacked thread, not the original.
Imagine if all those people, or even a goodly number of them, could learn to love life, love their neighbors, love doing whatever they can to contribute to our country instead of only taking whatever they can for themselves. Imagine how wonderful it would be to interface with friends, relatives and strangers, and everybody is upbeat, happy, and positive.
I can imagine that.
And you know what I see?
Creativity would go through the ROOF!
It would be OFF The CHAIN.
People helping one another, looking out for each other. Showing concern. It would be fabulous.
Suddenly, it seems rather obvious that we should at once begin a Massive Federal Government Program to offer free psychological counseling to anyone who desires it.
It would be totally in compliance with our Constitution.
It would "Insure Domestic Tranquility."
Naturally, the only logical source of funding to pay for this new government spending would be to tax the rich to pay for it. And ya know what? I bet the nation would be so much more prosperous that it would be worth it. The rich would probably end up just getting richer.
It would reduce or end mass shootings, and it would make the country happier and more prosperous; because happy people work better.
