The fanatical society

This weekend, upon hearing that Gabrielle Giffords had been shot in Arizona, I immediately connected the dot between the fanatical rhetoric that has been tirelessly fan by the Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly and Sarah Palin of the world and have become the mantra of those who support the extremist views of the Republican Party. This part of American society has to change its way, return to a more civilized dialog and to reality.

Perhaps, the fault is directly tied to those who are fueling the debate like Fox News among other partisan and extremist media and the corrective action that is needed is that Americans receive a national lesson in civility, are offered once and for all an unbiased debate on the advantage and disadvantages of making assault and other automatic weapon in as many hands as possible (with both sane and totally insane owners...) Perhaps, with all that we might one day rejoin the rank of civilized societies.
