Horror / Wars and Domestic

Since no one has commented on the latest domestic American Horror, I will.

The morning has been filled with prayer talk -- fine. And there's also been the usual talk about guns -- and, too, the possibility of Warner Bros. withdrawing the Batman film.  I find those two responses superficial and meaningless.  On the gun thing, if the killer hadn't had those, he did have explosives at his home which he'd likely have used.

What we never hear is sensible  and depthy conjecture about the domestic psychiatric effects of this country's involvement in many years of wars -- proliferating and endless wars -- which have gone on ever expansively since 9/11.  The cost in lives has obviously been astronomical and the horrors of technology -- e.g., 120 people, or more, killed by a single explosion -- have been televised consistently to the four directions.  If developing psychotics, sometimes inflamed by personal economic vicissitudes,  see human life as "cheap," it shouldn't be surprising to see these mass tragedies sprouting and gushing blood across the U.S.
