Why No Why?

After we murder 20 school kids, why are we not allowed an answer as to why?

I have a unique suggestion: if we commit a murder, our medical records become public domain.

We know we design drugs to get people to do things they normally would not do, and a common thread is these shooters are heavily medicated people.  This would be a valuable line of inquiry, but there are very heavy penalties for revealing anyone's medical records. The Aurora theatre killings happened months ago, and we still know nothing about the shooter, or the Phoenix congresswoman shooter or for that matter the Columbine shooters.  But they all one one thing in common: those drugs.

We know we have done much work on these drugs and mind control, so it would be interesting to study what treatment these people got and the results.    It is becoming ever more clear medical records secrecy is not to protect patients but protect the state.

We need independent and widespread research on these gunners.

We know the factory model of schools is probably the worst system imaginable.  We profess children are our most precious asset, but we send them off to factories to be processed, have certain "treatments" applied so we can have certain outcomes.  I know about this because I have a masters in Ed Admin.  Well, when we set something up like that, a gunman can come in, take the factory over, and apply his treatment, mass murder.

If children were our most important asset, why do we put them in one place where we can do much harm with much ease?  We do not leave a back window on the safety deposit room at the bank.  But if we were to design schools commensurate with the value of our children, our schools would look like Fort Knox.

My grandmother taught twelve kids in eight grades in one room in Montesano, Washington and one of her students went on to become the first woman chief of surgery at Harvard Medical School.

Now this is not to say boutique schools founded around learning styles would stop the problem, it is only to say we'd have better educated kids.  For in 2006 another one of us with trouble in mind murdered some Amish kids in a one room schoolhouse.  We keep his medical records secret.

When we cannot know anything as to the why we do these things, we settle for the simplistic argument over guns.  We can argue all we want about whether spoons make us fat, but the fact is there is far much more involved.

A few days before the Connecticut murders, one of us confronted another deranged shooter at an Oregon Mall.  The bad gunner killed two and was confronted by a good gunner, and armed citizen, at which time the bad gunner killed himself.


Our president represented us as lachrymose.  Why do we act as though this is a tragedy outside us and incomprehensible when is it our doing?    One thing we can be assured though, is we will never get an answer as to "why?"

If we deregulate medicine, there will be more people offering more and better and cheaper ways of dealing with mental problems.  But we need medical records to prove it.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

Why? Because "we don't have god in our school, because we have become an immoral society, because we are allowed to own guns." Bullshit.

I'm so glad that you are talking about the medical drugs. I've listened to the radio and no one was ever mentioning this reason.
