depending how machiavellian you want to get with it, i think there's reasonable cases to be made for both answers to my above question.
now, i don't think what faust is attempting to get at is ignorance ( or indolence), deliberate or otherwise, so much as the conscious acknowledgement that it's a fool's errand to try and help every facet of society succeed, as that's impossible.
now, on the subject of school shootings, it's my opinion that is a retaliation for the hedonism and selfishness that creates the conditions and ability for someone to do such a horrendous thing. it's an indication of something wrong on a much bigger scale, as mental illness is a very large problem society will never be able to fix. recrimination for such evils and truculent nature zam alluded to is going to be a part of our society as long as it exists in it's present form.
