School Shootings

Rarely has a story left me feeling so sad and angry as that which hit the headlines recently which described the use of guns given to teachers to protect children in school in the US. And rarely has the cause of the problem seemed so obvious to me:  Surely shootings in schools in the US are the symptom of a sick society.  Sick because it is run by a wealthy elite whose priority is to make money while paying little or no attention to the well-being of either people or environment.  Sick because the agenda which reigns supreme values competition, greed and self interest.  Sick because lots of money is made out of misery hence the sale of guns and security forces are very profitable.  Seems like a 'no-brainer' to me!
