The cartoon here provides us with a great deal to think about. What precisely does the ever-accelerating rate of change in our world actually translate to in terms of the survivability of our civilization?
Society’s great minds constantly caution us about the need for wisdom and decency to keep pace with the growth in our capacity to blow things up.
Some are optimistic that this can occur. Others, e.g., American musician, composer, and songwriter Tom Waits are less so. He says: ‘We Are Monkeys With Money and Guns.’
A couple of points:
Actually, there are 11.4 million deer hunters, 4.6 million use archery and 6.8 million use guns. It just takes a second to look this up, and doing so prevents one from spreading malicious lies.
Hunters don’t use not assault weapons, which are almost always chosen by mass murderers. No one with any sense objects to rifles being sold to hunters.
With each passing day, Trump’s rhetoric reveals to an even greater degree his cruelty, his vindictiveness, and most of all, his lack of understanding of the U.S. Constitution. The only thing he has on his side is his capacity to mirror the hate and ignorance of his MAGA base.
We used to be proud of our country.
I’ve been to Japan. They’re sharp people.
At the very least, they don’t have people stupid enough to indiscriminately shoot water all over a village because of a kitchen fire.
