    The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

      Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

            That the USA is going to see such mass shootings repeatedly until we get off the hamster wheel.

                And think how such a move would likely devastate an economy and what effect that would have on people's lives. Sorry, no money to build that new hospital. Sorry, no money to repair the roads leading to the hospital. Sorry, your loved one didn't make it to the hospital.

                  I interpret it to mean Uncle Sam is on a hamster wheel with respect to gun-related violence, churning from one mass shooting to another and nothing being accomplished to address the issue.

                      This is an oft repeated Republican trope. I have not seen a single thing to suggest it has to happen that way. Renewables is an industry. We shifted from carriages to cars without "destroying the economy." We shifted from gas to electricity without "destroying the economy." We pushed companies to stop polluting our rivers and streams without "destroying the economy." I see no reason that we cannot shift from fossil-fuels to renewables without "destroying the economy." Change will come with some disruption - but it doesn't have to "destroy the economy." Indeed, it doesn't even have to destroy fossil-fuel companies. They are the best positioned to shift to a renewable energy source and capitalize. Put the manufacturing plants where coal miners and oil drillers/refiners are being put out of work and you can do a lot to minimize the pain, perhaps even improve quality of life.
