Yes, the U.S. is a very violent nation and there are many contributing reasons for this starting with religious arrogance but including old world biases (tribal as well as racial issues) and in some cases "desperation" -- situations in which a given group of people create "gangs" in order to elevate themselves and "their" people. Then too, we have good ole capitalism to thank alongside that fame "love of" money which will lead people to all kinds of underhanded meanderings.
If we pause for a moment and really weigh the reason for so much violence in the U.S. we could say that the Love of Money is quite likely the prime catalyst followed closely by the illusion of power over others. Just look at the way of the "1%" and the dark shadows found within their aura and business practices. So many we need to do a statistical look at how much death, unrest and mayhem money has caused and push to outlaw it?
Then again, Money don't hurt people on itself and can be proved rather helpful, it's how you use it. . . kind of like Nuclear Energy, Oil, Booze, Food. . .Statistics: Posted by Craig Browning — 15 Nov 2011, 02:30
