I guess you missed

(And our own theological nostruns intermixed with Govt. - demonstrate that we can't even de-program ourselves.) At least, I have an ideal of details of the local programming - mostly hearsay (and some first-hand) re the overseas variant. I see no 'solution' to any of the variants - until sufficient maturity occurs, that folk all over: stop attributing their fav personal characteristics to.. the Mystery that existence is. The personal/customized-God stuff is a festering boil on the ass of humanity, and guarantees replay of all this stupid stuff. Indefinitely. All the rest is: bandaids and BS, spun to a new tune periodically (and always - sanctimoniously). A.

I choose to look at both. Do not look behind the curtain, there is no relation between such events. It's all about hatred, my friend. And it's intense and it's on both sides.

There are non-lethal approaches, apparently rarely employed. (Why do cops everywhere run First to projectile weapons? Habit. Slothful thought. Testosterone.) I prefer radical surgery to pharm-chem happy pills. The root of the problem is ~ the child abuse of inculcating wildly asocial principles in tiny minds; then keeping those minds tiny* via Draconian 10th century superstition. ie and even simpler, always and Everywhere - Ignorance Kills. Intentionally brainwashing malleable minds IS a Crime - we just lack the subtlety to uncover any means of enforcing sanctions against such kinds of Crimes. (Will leave Language-murder for another thread). * as in radix==root-cause. We use force so often because: A) as a species we are mentally lazy, mostly. B) Men (indeed) 'Love War'. Genetic cock-up (pun intended) C) It's EZiest! - for those who ever choose the instant result - as in: bizness' first-quarter results mindset: ~ the way we run the world. D) Add your fav other homo-sap stupidity here ____ A.
