I don't think humans are inherently bad - I think we are inherently stupid.

Unfortunately, the sword of natural selection cuts on both edges. What was a survival tool 10 generations ago is now a threat to species survival and humanity seems powerless to change that. I suspect it IS possible to fix stupid, but takes much more will, individual will, than we seem to possess.

Because in the end, it is individual choice. What I watch, what I read, what I click on has an impact and when my impact is multiplied by the enormous herd it leaves a mark.

I can change it. Not outside my door, or even outside my body, but I can do the right thing as often and as honestly as I can. If nothing else, it's my civic responsibility. It's my personal responsibility.

So, it's a sad day in the US. There will be thoughts and prayers up the ass. Unless you were directly impacted by yesterday's atrocity you will send your thoughts and prayers elsewhere tomorrow. Even dead children can't hold the herd.

Stupid is as stupid does.
