An Analysis of insanity.

This paragraph is what has raised alot of hackles this week. Not for what it says, but for what it means.

What many outsiders don't realize is how alienating the decades-long linguistic struggle has been in the once-cosmopolitan city. It hasn't just taken a toll on long-time anglophones, it's affected immigrants, too. To be sure, the shootings in all three cases were carried out by mentally disturbed individuals. But what is also true is that in all three cases, the perpetrator was not pure laine, the argot for a “pure” francophone. Elsewhere, to talk of racial “purity” is repugnant. Not in Quebec.

From the putrescent Globe and Mail article about the Dawson shooting. Apparently the Globe, along with the rest of the Left, believe that personal responsibility does not exist.

The hack who authored this pap believes that Quebec's language laws are what drove the poor dear victim to walk into a school and open fire on the students.

What utter and complete idiocy!

Fact is that some people are bat-shit crazy. Evil happens. The trick is to detect it before somebody gets killed.

No matter what, the responsibility lies with the shooter. That is a fact of life, you do something of your own free will, whatever you did is your fault. If you cannot accept this fact, someone who raised you buggered up.

The Left, with their nanny-state laws, are trying their best to remove personal responsibility from the populace. Apparently, the citizenry is unable to shoulder the burden.

A very very good example is the Long Gun Registry. At the heart of the law is the idea that the average Joe-Redneck will become a raving homicidal maniac the moment he picks up his double barreled shotgun, or at least he'll let the neighbor kid play with it like a rattle. Therefore, as he isn't worthy of trust, Joe has to register his antique scattergun so the police can keep an eye on him.

Conservative ideas on the gun control issue differ greatly. Their idea of registering the gun owner, requiring a background check and providing education on safe gun ownership puts the responsibility where it belongs. Squarely on the shoulders of the gun owner. The government knows he's been a good citizen, he's been given the education on safe gun ownership, and if Joe buggers it up its his responsibility and he's gonna get nailed.

Last election we saw the naked face of the Lefts contempt for personal responsibility when a Liberal spokesman said that Canadian parents would spend the Conservative child-care money on beer and popcorn.

I don't know about you, but that sticks in my craw.

Yep.... our bastions of the MSM have been sinking lower almost every day.

It may be the result to some extent of the overall decline of our educational system. But that cannot explain the self righteous nurse-nanny BS that these leftoids want to saddle us all with.
