Why am I even bothering to write about gun control? That was going to be my opening sentence when this column was to be focused on the Aurora, Colorado, movie-theater massacre: twelve people murdered and fifty-eight wounded, some very severely, by James Holmes, demented neuroscience graduate student. Then came the massacre at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin: six killed and three wounded by Wade Michael Page, 40-year-old white supremacist and leader of a racist hardcore band called End Apathy. And even after this horrific crime, which the FBI is calling “domestic terrorism,” my opening is the same: Why am I even bothering to write about gun control? |

Why do you bother?
Because you have lost. Deep down inside you know you have lost. But since you weren't a dispassionate searcher for truth, you are not happy to have learned what the truth is and pleased to see it advanced. Instead you are running in fear that your culture will wither and die. And (for reasons unclear to me) cultural survival brings out the petty and vicious in people.
Why? You lost. You are fighting tooth and nail to maintain control over other peoples' ideas. (How multicultural of you.) |
