I'm not happy with this response, so I hide it on this blog. But I have to do something with these feelings after the latest shooting incident. The issue is gendered and it gets into the gun control debate, but I want to go even further than that. The problem is that we look around and see problems. Then we find or make tools to fix the problem. Maybe we need to step back and see that it's all a mystery. Sure we have tensions and we seek resolution, but there is no isolatable problem and engineered solutions are just going to cover symptoms and create worse tensions sooner or later. Better to experience the tension and seek healthy resolution. This develops capacity to deal with the tension and create new strength.
