Absentee Fathers and the Newtown School Shooting
For those who don't know, The Witherspoon Institute is a Princeton University-based "think tank" that looks at social/moral issues from an objective perspective. They tend to rankle those who want to hear only one ideological side to an argument, and also tend to puncture any sacred cows that are in need of perforation.
Such is the politicization of opinion in our country that objective discussion makes people angry. Weird, huh? Anyway, the article presents an important element worthy of consideration, especially since so many have an opinion about recent events.
I would also note that, in every, single one of the mass shootings in the last fifteen years, the murderers were either long-term psychotropic drug users or had just stopped taking the drugs. It's easy for politicians retroactively to turn law-abiding, tax-paying people like myself into gun criminals, it's far more difficult to look at a social circumstance in which politicians may feel some sense of guilt, or fly in the face of their major contributors in the pharmaceutical industry.
After all, which Connecticut industry gave more to the Malloy campaign? Colt or Pfizer? Oh, you know the answer.
