What is that age-old question?

Why can’t we be satisfied?

Let’s add another question to that — why can’t we live in this world with others?

We in America live in what most people the world over would descibe as the finest country in the world as well as the wealthiest.  Although we do have a disturbing number of people that live in poverty, when it comes to food, many of us throw away what many folks in other countries would call a banquet.  We waste water and other resources like they grow on trees.  And we still haven’t learned from those nations that have been fighting off-and-on for decades, some for centuries.

The more advancements we make in health, technology and things that improve our creature comforts, the less civilized it seems that we become.

Take that guy that shot up that religious sect in Wisconsin.  What the —–?

Not to mention the gunman in Aurora, Colorado.

And the one that shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

Those that shoot or use other weapons to kill people who are different races are bad enough.  Those that target anyone randomly or don’t hesitate to kill children or the elderly to me are beyond help  What is it that they get out of it?  Do they wake up one day and just decide to kill folks?

Being able to procure weapons of any kind as well as police badges and equipment that they can use to impersonate them on the internet just boggles my mind.  Who came up with that bright idea?

It truly makes me wonder.
