The only place to begin here is with deep honoring of all families, kids, teachers, bystanders, shooters, and all the natural world witnesses of tragic events.  

As I've thought about all the school shootings, I notice that all the shooters are young men.  Young men who I would consider under-resourced. They tend to not come from wealthy families, tend not to have parents around, tend to be towards the lower end of socio-economic scales. 

The curiosity then enters, what about the resourced kids? The ones with money and access to education?  Those kids are equally as caught in the shittiness of this patriarchal capitalistic culture as the other kids, they just have more access to resources.  

I make the case that when resourced kids follow the rules, go to elite colleges, are equally as disconnected to their hearts and souls, and end up doing the bidding of the corporations because they are intelligent, "well educated", and equally as confused that the do more damage to people and the natural world as the school shooters.  

And, and, and are often held up as models of success by the culture.  They are lauded as successful people, making loads of money, and living THE life.  

This feels really dangerous and problematic for me.  Give a listen.  It's disquieting. At least it is for me.
