"There are none so blind as those who will not see. "

The horror in Florida highlights many of the worst parts of being human.

Fear. Bigotry. Prejudice. Racism. Ignorance. Reacting.

No race, country, or religion is blameless when it comes to killing people. It just depends on where or when you stop reading the news. Trying to eliminate horror by eliminating people is never the answer.

Unstable, ignorant and angry people often teeter on the edge. They are used by power hungry people to do unspeakable acts in the name of (almost anything.) Blaming and reacting with anger are fuel for more hate.

Making public the name, or picture of hate filled people gives them more power than they deserve. If people in our country can embrace Trump, they can embrace almost anything, no matter how violent or racist, or bigoted, or ignorant it seems to the rest of us. I don't know what the answer to this one is, but perhaps simply referring to the guilty one with some sort of pseudonym might be better. "The homicidal maniac," "the hateful one," "the killer," But nothing that gives them any personal fame.

We need to find a way to include all people in a war against ignorance and hate. All that money and time spent worrying about how people look and who they love and where they pee might be better directed.
