Why does the number of mentally ill individuals in America just keep climbing? Who said, “If you will not have God, you should pay your respects to Hitler and Stalin."? Let’s talk truthfully about mass shootings. First of all, unlike familicides or felony-related homicides, the perpetrators are almost always suicidal. Why are they also nearly always white men?  Yes, they mostly involve firearms, but let’s seriously explore all the other commonalities they possess which are so very politically incorrect. When was anything the government banned removed from society? Alcohol during prohibition? No! Drugs for the past 40 years? No! But banning guns will work? Really?

Have you heard of the famous Elephants’ Graveyard in Africa? Why is nature so private about death? Where are all the dead pigeons in New York?  Is death a technical problem or a philosophical problem? Together, we discover the latest work being done to defeat death. Why exactly does death disturb us?  How has growth in crime paralleled the growth in children born to single mothers that began…yes, that’s right: in 1962? More innocent people die violently in American road accidents every single day than have died in the last three mass shootings. Why does no one seem to care about them? More than 70 Americans die of homicides every single day. Again, doesn’t anyone care? Why do we seem to care more when fewer people die in what we call a mass shooting? Every month there is at least one mass killing carried out with knives or axes, rather than guns. Why don’t you hear about these events? Is it possible that America’s increase in abortion, both clinically and culturally, spreads a subconscious mood of death? Why is the number of people who’d mourn your departure so important? Eliminating cancer would add only 3.3 years to the average lifespan and eliminating heart disease would add only 4 years, so for people to reach 120 years or older would require a whole lot more. Will technology ever bring 300-year lifespans? Would that even be good for the environment? ...just kidding…
