July has not been a kind month. Midsummer has always been a lunatic time; awash in mysticism, magical thinking, and weirdness. 2012 has seen fit to add tragedy into the mix.
The lunatic actions of a young man mired within his own dysfunctional thinking took the lives of 12 innocents, and altered the lives of 58 others.
Making this horrific July even worse is the return of the endless conundrum mimicking a discussion on the question: 'How can we deal with gun violence?
I have an answer to that shouting match between NRA/2nd amendment zealots and their equally off-base Zero Gun opponents: Don't Waste Your Breath - unless both sides are willing to move off their positions, or just sit back and let the reasonable middle deal with it, there will be no solution. The more each group of diametrically-opposed 'thinkers' rant across the divide, the further from any practical solution we become.
And in the meantime, July 2013 awaits ...
