not the least of which is the total lack of consideration and disrespect we exhibit for one another as individuals and the diminished sense of community brought on by greed in this nation. Guns, pharmaceuticals, poor mental health care access, inadequate funding and staffing for schools, worship of the almighty gun and dollars, constant bombarding of images of violence in the media and the message that some are more worthy than others... it's all in there. Events do not exist as disconnected from all other factors in the world. They just don't.
