What is not clearly understood about these situations and the long devastating list of similar ones that Rachel Madow gave on her show is just how the emotional climate we create effects us all. When persons with charismatic power such as a Limbaugh or Beck whip up the currents of fear and hate it creates weather on the emotional dimension. This weather is full of the dark energy and qualities of hate and fear, jealousy, and rage which they use to stir and then release their brews into the emotional field.
We all live and move within this field and this weather has different effects on different ones of us. For the vast majority, this kind of emotional weather is something in which we would rather not be caught. Thus, the major effect of the weather of hate and rage may not be the stirring up of the already unstable ones of us to the point that they will and do commit these all too predictable events. However, that this weather very definitely creates and encourages the conditions for the release of the chaos which these sorts of brothers harbor, and release is doubted only by the ignorant. So it is causal in the fact that it generates the emotional conditions where those who are on the edge will step over and act. If our discourse were filled with goodwill and the honest concern for the Common Good and General Welfare, such events would all but disappear.
But this is not the major effect of these hate filled storms. NO. The major effect is to turn off those of the intelligentsia who might otherwise be interested in the political discussions. It is a terrible blight on our community processes which depend totally on cooperative interaction for the benefit of the whole. It has created a society where the majority of the citizens have checked out. They do not vote, do not care to be bothered by any of our challenges. It has turned us into consumers of trivia and anything that will entertain us and not threaten us with these kinds of weather.
Check the total number of individuals who attended sporting contests like football, baseball and basketball games or who watched American Idol and compare that with the number of individuals who actually went to the poles in the last election.
But there is no escaping this kind of weather. It is in our emotional body and we have to swim in it and cope with it on a daily basis. It would be a great thing to eliminate such vitriol. To stop the dumping of this toxic waste into the water in which we all must swim.
Amen Brother!

Thank you, brother, for this important reminder, and the true brotherly/sisterly frequency with which you conveyed your thoughtlines.
