Explosions

Together we stand? or type? or text? or blog? 

Well of course I need to write about the Boston Marathon Explosion. I'm fascinated by these terrible things that humans are capable of doing. I'm not entirely kidding when I tell you that I am prepping for war.

I'm not going to talk about how tragic this is... or focus on who must have done this.... of course this is just terrible, and sick. I'm more interested in discussing the revolution of terrible things in general. Is there a pattern to all of this?

 This year we had psychopath's walk into an elementary school and a movie theater and willy nilly just started to shoot people including little kids. We have had bombs on trains, planes, automobiles.... the list is endless. There is something wrong here.

Is this getting worse or has this always been the nature of humans? What I'm getting at is... perhaps this has always been going on before the Internet.... or not? Now with just a click the whole world can see terrible things in a few seconds. For instance, I knew that something bad had happened in Boston without even turning on my TV. I saw a bunch of people talking about it on Facebook, and then I went and looked it up. It seems like Yahoo is filled with nothing but terrible news. Is this just because we have more access to it? It's easier to report on something because all it takes is a quick "hey look I just got raped by a monkey!" and then its all over the news.

Think back to a time before Internet and phone. Let's go back to when there was Paul Revere. "The british are coming!" lets light lanterns. It took days for word of mouth to spread. Back then it would have been impossible for psychopaths to get their shits and giggles off of hurting hundreds. Unless I suppose you set off a cannon or something on a small village... but still... whats the fun in that if the world can't read or see images of your sick deed? No fun at all.

What did psychopaths do before Internet? Did they just kill and eat their family members and hope that maybe it would make the newspaper? "Local man eats mother?"

Anyway, what I'm wondering is, could Internet be making us more violent as humans? Could lack of time with each other be creating more mentally ill people to roam and act all crazy? I'm thinking back to an early time in Salem where a village could take a crazy woman , accuse her of being a witch and throw her on a public BBQ or drown them for all to see. I suppose some things are getting better, but maybe if we paid more attention to those around us, less people would end up dead. Just like Adam Lanza- that kid should have been in a nut house. It could have been avoided. He totally would have been called a "witch" by the village.

As for war and other countries. Well that's a whole other blog that I'm not really capable of talking about since my mind has trouble understanding it all. For now let's focus on us. Get off the phone and the computer and take time to talk to people. There is one good thing that comes from all of this. Nature has a cruel way of making us come together as a nation. Why does it take a bomb to make us love and care about one another? Look at these images. Total strangers coming together in complete chaos. People giving real hugs to loved ones. Real emotion. Perhaps that's what Internet has done. It's sucked the soul out of the human race. Sometimes an explosion is what snaps us out of it.

Total strangers helping each other. Raw emotion. Is this our future? Will this be a weekly event soon? 

And the psychopath wins at scaring and hurting hundreds.

clearly someone is mentally ill and has planned this well.
