I like to connect dots between stories/comments of others. Today I read, https://jodieshelm.medium.com/there-was-another-mass-shooting-in-el-paso-tx-67c19f765b49 , which contains many related statements, including: "The cycle we speak of is not about guns or violence. The cycle is one of acceptance by the masses that they cannot affect change. You have been conditioned to accept what those in power decide and support, whether you agree with it or not. The law of the land should reflect what the majority believes and wants, should it not? Yet, thus far, the majority’s views have been ignored to a great extent. Why? Because they do not suit those in power, who benefit from the status quo, and because the masses tolerate their greed and control."
