It’s easy to blame the rhetoric and that’s the way the media are playing the Va. shooting. Political analysts are called before the cameras and call for unity. Not one social, cognitive or psychological scientist is interviewed in the mainstream media. We ignore the root and snip the leaves.
We don’t need more or less guns. We don’t need less fiery discourse. We need stronger social services. We certainly don’t need to prolong and ratchet up the trauma by seemingly endless replaying of the event and publishing the knee-jerk reactions of extremists.
We need more education that teaches our children how to handle strong emotions in a rational and effective manner. #Resist by #ThinkingAboutThinking 121Contact
