Well, here we are again, America. Have a look at the latest indicator we live in the "greatest nation on Earth". Another two teens commit suicide. Two fifteen-year-old girls, very similar to the incident that garnered national headlines before it that I talked about here in Lew Rockwell. See here.

I want to be crystal clear: I am not blaming the parents here in these incidents. These parents need our prayers. But guess what? So does our society. But the professional experts and talk show circuit riders will surely tell us what we want to hear so we can watch more violence and amoral hogwash afterward. Again, we're going to ask the wrong questions, come to the wrong conclusions, and never once step into a room where there is a mirror and no politicians.

How long will America outsource its children to the government? I mean, people keep wanting the government to fix this or that thing and for decades now, we've seen no progress. Maybe that's because this government sees "solutions" as being a sledgehammer to pound in a carpet tack. Not that the government would want to pound in a raised carpet tack. How else will they sweep crap under the rug, after all? No problem is ever as simple as the government makes them out to be, where we can Obamacare, regime change, and Hillary dillary dock our way out of fundamental, profound, and horrifying social problems that are so obvious you have to medicate yourself to avoid seeing them. Which is what a lot of people do and the government thinks it's "easy" access to prescription medications that causes that. No, you idiots! It's because this is not the "greatest" nation on Earth, like you keep selling us on, you bunch of geopolitical slumlords! If this country was an apartment complex, it'd be worse than any low-rent cracker box full of roaches and rodents and ten deadbolts on the door just to make it through the night.

Again, this society (because it isn't just the government that runs it) sits there and acts as if teen suicides and mass shootings are just manifesting out of thin air, without any causes and conditions that can be understood. Nothing, ever, anywhere, at any time, is ever like that. Everything from an acorn falling to the suicide of a kid has a series of causes and conditions that leads up to it. But we don't want to see that, do we? We don't want to know that, do we? No, because then we couldn't just demand the government take care of it, wave the magic Medicate The Kids wand, and hopefully it'll go away a few funerals later. When do we realize that the government has no solutions? When do we realize that we have built a society that glorifies death, senseless violence, and vacuous atheism that seems to think we're all just so much random happenstances with no spirit or conscience we need to be concerned with. So, why is anyone at all surprised by any of this? We've even got a government that perpetuates this madness and then we ask this cast of amoral false prophets to save us? Huh.

You might as well create a bunch of crisis counselor "rapid response teams", America, that can respond to teen suicides and mass shootings quickly, because I'm not seeing this ending any time soon. In fact, I see it getting worse. Heaven forbid someone talk about a —shudder—religious solution! People gather after these incidents and pray. To whom?! Maybe that's what should have been done BEFORE, you know? Heaven forbid someone criticize the secular humanism that has nothing to offer us but the thought that after death, nothing occurs. Because, indeed, life itself began when a group of dust particles just swirled together in the universe and a few billions of years later, presto!, here we are. This is as ridiculous a notion as thinking a tornado could sweep through a junkyard and a cabbage patch and assemble a 747 jetliner, with passengers. The government rather likes atheism because there's no one they need to answer to for their thefts and murders. Society likes it because then they can show endless gladiatorial's and sell their own daughters on television and not once feel guilty about it. Hey, the tornado that swept through the junkyard and cabbage patch is long gone and won't care.
