Well…coffee, newspapers, and music are quite restorative and I had an idea materialize that I wanted to get down before I forget it…it may turn out that I should have forgotten, but here goes….we’ve heard all of the parsing of the tragedy in Arizona; that the shooter was left wing, that he was right wing, that his actions were caused by the heated political vitriol, that he was just a crazy…on and on, and on. But, something that just came to me a few minutes ago may or may not be pertinent…it seems like crazy ideas now have an official stamp to them since they are spouted by ‘news” organizations and public figures….it used to be that the crazies only had their own brains and thoughts and they would live in that closed off little world, with the rest of the society acting as a normality counterbalance. But now, those with crazy ideas can get them reinforced daily by just listening to talk radio or Fox news…can there be a feedback loop that spurs these crazies to action? That makes them think that their thoughts are normal?
Just a thought….and I may come back later to add to it….oh…I did add to the one below so take a look if you want…
