Who Knows

Who knows where the madness comes from. There are no little trolls like this living next door but they live somewhere. They come out with guns and knives and slurs and rage and hatred and fill our screens with obscenities to a point where we are used to it. And we shouldn’t be. I heard on the radio the other day a man asking: “What if Christ had came again in the last hundred years…and got blasted and buried under rubble in one of our countless wars?” . Good question for Cristians I suppose. For me the question is why guns are for sale at Walmart? Why in the most powerful country in the world, wealthiest, supposedly smartest, are there almost as many guns as there are people? Why are hand gun manufacturers anodizing their weapons in pretty colours to attract women buyers? Why do we shake our heads and walk away after every mass shooting?

Of course there’s a phone book full of “why’s” and a scribble on the back of a used envelope with the answers. I just can’t remember where I put that envelope. Old age I guess.

Have a nice day…
