WHAT WILL IT DO?
I can understand why people want answers about Adam Lanza but I fail to see what the obsession will do during this particular time. Adam Lanza committed a dastardly crime that will long be remebered as one of the darkest, and lowest points in humanity. Today one of eight funerals started and a trending article focuses on Adam Lanza's hard drive.
I have a problem because the fact is that Lanza obviously had problems, psychological problems that were far too deep and went untreated far too long. I saw his former babysitter say that Lanza's mother said "Don't turn your back on Adam." The mother knew somehting was wrong and never addressed it. Was Lanza's mother affraid of her son being labeled? It seems to me Adam was already considered an oddball by everyone that knew him.
If Adam's mother was living comfortably why did she not use her means to get some help for her son instead of purchasing deadly weapons? Oh yes we live in a free country and everyone has the right to bare arms but psychological help is for sissy types. So now we get back to the hard drive and why it angers me.
Everyone is looking for answers but the answers will accomplish nothing. There is no way and I mean no way that any one person with any mountain of evidence can truly come up with an answer for this horrible tragedy. No religious figure or mental health professional can explain this in any way shape or form. A total of 28 lives were lost 20 of which never really got started. I think it is sickening to see how everyone in positions of power is using this as a way to say we need to address gun control. Gun control should have been addressed years ago before this tragedy had a chance to happen. I also think that Adam Lanza's drive will answer nothing and let's face the fact that it won't. Adam Lanza was smart enough to destroy it knowing what he was going to do.
In the end there is no way to get closure especially for the parents of the little children that were killed. Adam Lanza knew he was going to do something drastic, dramatic, and unforgettable in every single way. The children can't be returned and the others cannot come back either. Adam Lanza won't face a jury, he won't serve time, and he will not have the time reflect on what he did. I ask one more time: What will it do? The hard drive will do nothing at all, there are no answers.
IMAGINE 2013
John Lennon sang about no hell below us and above us only sky in the timeless Imagine. I think John was on to something. Today we rely on too much religion, too much war, too much freedom, but realy what do we have from it? I think that is a rhetorical question with an obvious answer.
Perhaps I am developing late Woodstock reflux and I am ready to break out the daisies with some colorful shirts and bubbles. I think though that I am more a broken spirit wondering why so many people have to die without any dam sense whatsoever. We fight wars for years that only hurt the lives of those noble enough to make the sacrifice for self and country. Here at home we fail to fight the wars that would avoid tragedies like the one in Sandy Hook Elementary.
Imagine if in 2013 religious figures stuck to just spreading the word for their respective religions and quit the bullshit and sanctimonious pandering they seem to be so good at. I wonder if it's possible to imagine a 2013 without war and mass death. I guess we are all so jaded that it's impossible to imagine this but just for a minute to see it like that makes the world good again.

THE WORLD WON'T END BUT HUMANITY MAY HAVE
The Mayans may have really only been saying that humanity and decency would end on 12/21/2012. What happened in Sandy Hook Elementary school to all those children is an absolute tragedy that only shows we need to take heed as a society. There are so many things to be debated here.
Adam Lanza was a product of a very well to do home where it seems like the only major issue was his parents divorce. There is also another issue with guns and what a major part they seemed to play in the Lanza household. I wonder how many zealots pushing the right to bare arms are going to try and say this is part of the political agenda to enforce gun control.
To me it is inexplicable how this happened with the exeption of the Lanza family not understanding that Adam Lanza had an obvious disorder given his reclusive nature and fiercely abnormal intelligence.We always like to find one thing but the truth is that we need to look at so many things. Mental illness, gun control, come on these are children that died. What the hell are we doing? What can we do? The world is not getting better because all we do is turn everything into some issue for talking points. I say man the fuck up, woman the fuck up and let's all make a serious change for the sake of future generations.
