The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

nobody is curious why so many people want to pull the triggers

What makes you think that Wilton? That's never been so. A 5 second google with AI will counter that.

I can make my own educated wild ass guess based on looking at it long ago. We've had violence dropping since 1990, and we postulate that taking the lead out of gas and paint, etc., may have helped the decline. There's lots of studies correlating violent rhetoric to increase in violence; couple that with easy access to guns and a culture that caters to guns and gun carry and, Voila!, we have ourselves a shooter.

The suicides are making a splash statement before they go. The right has been spewing speech that creates an atmosphere favoring violence for some time and as is typical, they blame the left, or what they think the left is. But the right has the left beat on violence to people.
