Just another psycho killer – a mentally disturbed, disenfranchised, disenchanted, disgruntled player has leapt down upon the national stage. Already you can hear the political media machine downplaying the obvious reasons for this tragedy and promoting the same old lone gunman theory we have heard since Judas served up Jesus on a platter. It never changes. The fact that this “cowboy” nation (in reality, a very brief interval in our history) has the most ridiculous gun laws in the “civilised” world, that we glorify and encourage those who spout hate and violence, that we, as a nation, are impotent when it comes to effecting real change, never enters the equation. In a few days, this incident of violence against a duly elected Congresswoman of the United States, Gabrielle Giffords, and the death and injury perpetrated by this latest misguided, misunderstood loner, Jared Lee Loughner (always all 3 names for assassins), will be forgotten. Politicians and talking heads will cry out for justice and change for a few minutes and then go back to the business of creating yet another monster. Qu’est que c’est?
