"Ultimately, behind every gun is somebody's baby. The crucial difference is not the gun but the mind of the baby holding it -- who may be either a cold-hearted gang member or a compassionate police officer."That's what it takes to be a "noted psychology expert," Dr. Chamberlain?
And there's no room in your thesis for compassionate citizens, Doc? How about cold-hearted police officers?
Forgive me if this sounds like so much DSH psychobbabble from an ivory tower egghead--either that or an agenda-driven paving of the way for the state to begin inserting itself even more into people's lives as early as possible.
Yeah, we're all babies, from cradle to grave. And babies, you know--need someone to take care of them. Someone who knows best what's good for them.
Say, you wouldn't happen to be related to Neville, would you...?
Talk about your false dichotomy!
ReplyDeleteTrue enough, Kent.
ReplyDeleteAbout the only good thing about this article is that he didn't make any suggestion that the gun somehow overpowered the person and it started going off by itself, which is usually the case in these screeds.
And David, have you considered that our precious Dr Chamberlain might be related to Richard? :)
