I am happy to indicate that on this day, December 31, 2012, my website reached two-million page views. This total only goes back to 2010 when for whatever reason my website host lost all previous stats from/since 2003. I was able to capture this important milestone when my page views reached 1999999 and then when it turned over to 2 million page hits.
Or would it be called "pagehitstone"? And remember Joyce Raley Teel: You are being viewed!
Above is "empathy" and how it is defined and used. It was easy to see how the mass killer at the Connecticut elementary school obviously lacked empathy. How about the people in the community where this massacre took place?
Did the people there who may have seen him around town or had contact with him, did they have empathy for him? Maybe it was the lack of empathy that existed in the mind of this young man and the lack of empathy that existed in the minds of the other adults that caused this particular individual to be fueled with rage that set him off to where innocent young children, in which each one of whom probably had more empathy than all of the adults combined, were slaughtered. Hard to figure out why they should be the ones to end up suffering the consequences and losing their lives.
Empathy. Either you have it or you don't!

The National Rifle Association released its opinion on how to stop mass killings. To me, it sounds like a modern day "Gunfight at the OK Corral" just waiting to happen. So the NRA is stating that an armed police/guard with a gun, sitting comfortably in his elementary school reclining chair is going to stop a fruit-loop, dressed in bullet-proof clothes, spraying the entire building with bullets fired from weapons of mass destruction.
All this means is that the first person the mass killer will plan to kill is the person at the school being given the task to stop the froot-loop with the military weapon bent on killing everybody in his view before he calmly puts a single bullet into his head. Does this get any crazier?
Why would a 20-year-old man shoot his way into a elementary school and killed 20 children and six adult women?
Was it because he had access to high powered weapons? This killer didn't need a high powered weapon to kill a bunch of innocent people. He could have ran over a bunch of children down with a car. He could have found a school bus filled with children and easily kill each one of them on the bus with a knife. He could have placed explosives around the school when nobody was there and blown up the school. However, having easy access to the guns became his chosen weapon on this day to fulfill his killing spree on this day.
In my opinion guns really aren't the problem. The problem is probably the entire community where this young man lived. He may have been acting on total revenge. Revenge against the children? NO! Revenge against the parents of these children.
Let's face it folks, most communities like this one in Connecticut are just filled with arrogant/pompous people who think they are better than everybody else and will probably look down on individuals like this killer known to be different than most of the other people in this community. Unless you are perceived to be important, good looking and add wealthy to the mix, like them, then they will look down on you. This is just common knowledge.
This mass killer probably felt the distain and discriminating look given off by the women who probably felt uncomfortable with this young man being in the community and showed it with their eyes and responses to him. After all, the children victims of this killer were wholesome, not mentally disadvantaged like the killer and the mothers of these children probably acted like their children were better than rest. And this may have fueled the rage inside of this young man to where he would show revenge to them all.
This 20-year-old killer could have just gone to a theatre, a mall, a concert or any number of other public places to horribly play with his high powered guns but he didn't choose to do that. What he did choose though was to target the children of the town's smug looking women and they all became easy targets in this supposedly safe and secure school. He was willing to break/shoot down the locked door at the school to specifically seek out these children and kill them.
In my opinion, it's the way that this young man was probably psychologically mistreated by those in the community that made him feel the need to kill innocent children and how unfortunate for the pompous, well-dressed and wholesome pretty face women of this upscale community to have seen his "shock and awe" behavior and they have had tears in their eyes since and they will suffer for the rest of their lives which was the ultimate goal of this killer.
Yeah, they can pass more laws against having guns but no matter how many laws they pass concerning guns, they can never pass a law that will prevent a mass killer bent on killing your children. Especially with the understanding the killer knows that the news media loves large body counts and is going to give their name notoriety.
And all of the help the mental health experts claim these mass killers need won't help one iota if the snobbish people residing in these communities don't get help first and rid themselves of their smug and pompous attitudes.
It just amazes me how Americans live in the greatest country in the World, and despicable and callous acts, like this one below, continue to go on and on with no end in sight to the insanity. How such innocent children and unarmed adults can have their lives snatched away in such a disgusting way.
Another example of how "shock and awe" seems to be the main focus of individuals who have no respect for human life. They know they are going to end their own life and so they make sure that they take a lot of innocent people with them to claim the notoriety that the news media will bring to them in the aftermath.
I have to wonder if this guy below may have killed his mother first as a way of preparing himself for the human slaughter and the killings at the school. In other words, if you can shoot your own mother in the face four times, it makes it a lot easier for that individual to be psyched up to go to a school and shoot little kids and adults in the face.
A person who shoots a child or anyone else is way beyond my understanding.
America is just super loaded with people who could care less about the life of other human beings. Many of whom are depressed, angry, suicidal, anti-social, lacking empathy and would love to have their name become a household word through the huge media coverage provided mass killers in America today.
Suppose for a moment that just 10% of 1% of 1% of the U.S. population of nearly 312,000,000 million people are encouraged in the future, for whatever reason, to commit these kinds of acts. That equates into a staggering 3,120 potential mass killers in the U.S. So, fill up your popcorn bucket and get ready for the continuation of the never-ending "shock and awe" that goes on in America. Followed by the usual three days of "we need gun control" rhetoric and the never-ending news media coverage afforded to these murderous cowards.
And if it was 1% of 1% of 1% of the total population,
which is 312,000,000 X .000001 then that =
312 potential mass killers just waiting to
have the news media lift their names up
high to bring them the sick notoriety
they hunger for.
Maybe I will spend some time writing out about 10 new speeches to offer President Barack Obama for him to use in the next 10 mass murders that will take place in the future. You know, some fresh thoughts.
I was viewing the "obituary" page that The Bee publishes and noticed an obituary for a Bee journalist who had just died. Just disgusting what kind of ads The Bee places next to those people who worked many years for them. And even done to The Bee's "religion" journalist...
Source: The Sacramento Bee web site www.sacbee.com
Does the above obituary, and the lack of respect shown to Jennifer Garza outdo the lack of respect The Bee showed my dad in his obituary when The Sacramento Bee quoted the man my dad was suing for fraud before he passed away? And The Sacramento Bee was completely aware of that fraud suit...
OK-another cheater being caught cheating. Does it surprise anybody that this guy Lance Armstrong's drive to become famous, to become the winner of a bike race seven times, to become ultra rich,,,,was all accomplished through the use of taking drugs and conning the world?
Hey, my website exposes a lot of cheaters too. From businessmen of successful companies to pastors of big churches. They cheat because they think nobody is going to catch them. Charles Nordby caught nearly 9000 cheaters in his life....some were little cheaters and others were big cheaters.
They say America is the land of opportunity. I say it's really a land of opportunity for big cheaters. And the big cheaters all have one thing in common: Their refusal to admit they are big cheaters when they get caught.
It's strange but based on statistics, the most recent being 2010, there were 8,775 murders committed by firearms in the U.S. What is the reason CNN news and the other news media outlets are not covering all of these other killings with a ton of cameras like they do in these once in a while senseless massacres?
Are the lives lost in bulk more important than only one person being killed on some dark lonely street? As long as the news media continues to treat these mass killings with the attitude that these murders are "special", these senseless killings will continue to take place and happen more frequently.
The news media loves murderous crimes with lots of victims.

Ok-what was this young man's motive for his killing spree at this theater? What has come out is that he was withdrawing from the University's PHD program as seen in this statement below found on Yahoo news:
"His reasons for quitting the program in June, just a year into the five- to seven-year program, also remained a mystery.
Holmes recently took an intense, three-part oral exam that marks the end of the first year. Those who do well continue with their studies and shift to full-time research, while those who don't do well meet with advisers and discuss their options, including retaking the exam. University officials would not say if he passed, citing privacy concerns.
The university said Holmes gave no reason for his withdrawal, a decision he made in June."
My former wife attended the Univ. of Missouri and was on its PHD doctorate program.
This is what she experienced attending the PHD program: Backstabbing competitive students; favoritism being shown by the professors; isolation-because she didn't fit into the cliques that existed; so much rudeness. When she didn't receive a passing score on her test, she was given the same option- retake the exam or leave the program. My former decided to retake the test. She passed the test but felt so disturb by the BS that was going on at this university that she withdrew and went back to California to finish her doctorate.
There were times she met me at a restaurant where she would be in tears because of how she was being treated by other students....
For this killer to be consider brilliant, why was he withdrawing? Was it because he experienced similar things at this university similar to what my former wife experience? It wouldn't surprise me to find out that he did, his buttons were pushed and it all manifested itself into a well orchestrated massacre with great lethal special effects.
What's interesting is the fact that our government went to war in Iraq to keep "weapons of mass destruction" out of the hands of its fruit-cake leader. However, weapons of mass destruction were never discovered in Iraq.
Yet, a fruit-cake living in America can order guns, that are essentially "weapons of mass destruction," and enter a public theater and commit a mass destruction and kill innocent lives that he planned out to perfection. There is something really wrong with this picture.
Yes, citizens should have a right to own guns but should have no right to own weapons of mass destruction. If it's good to keep those kinds of weapons out of the hands of foreign fruit-cakes, then it should be even more good to keep them out of the hands of homegrown-fruit-cakes. This seems like a no-brainer.
America's elected officials never have to worry about having eye to eye contact with this kind of a killer because they are provided security, at tax-payers expense, to avoid this kind of fate when attending a movie.
Still, he is getting what he ultimately wanted and that is news media attention.
He told the police that he was the Joker.
He told the news media that he was Santa Claus and delivered 12 bloodied-dead bodies to them wrapped up as Christmas presents and the news media couldn't have been more excited with it all.

It amazes me on just how much money people give to those running for elected positions. It must be just astounding. Below is an email I get that is supposedly sent by VP Joe Biden...yeah right. I wouldn't offer these people one penny of mine to support their efforts to continue to enrich their lives and their personal friends lives only. Not one penny!
I am not quite sure how I got on their email mailing list but they are sure wasting their time with me.
Repeat: Not one penny
