I suspect it IS possible to fix stupid, but takes much more will, individual will, than we seem to possess.
I have posited that if there was an intelligence pill, there is probably a point of increase where people realize that violence is not optimal for even personal gain. However, I am not sure what point that becomes uniformly true - a 300IQ? :D
If nothing else, it's my civic responsibility. It's my personal responsibility.
The better world problem we face now, is that people think they can live happily, without anyone else. Just think how little we use, we can actually make by ourselves.
Unless you were directly impacted by yesterday's atrocity you will send your thoughts and prayers elsewhere tomorrow.
This is exactly right. It is also why no one else needs to know the name of the shooter - because that need, will know without a newspaper, because they are directly affected.
