[QUOTE="D. Hargrove, post: 3016057, member: 41761"] American society today suffers from a pervasive culture of fear, distrust, and selfishness. Our desire to have guns for protection stems from fear of others and fear of losing our hard worked for material possessions. Racism is a product of fear as well — fear of those who look, sound and act different or might have different ideas and beliefs from our own combined with a selfish unwillingness to see the world through the eyes of anyone but ourselves. Conflicts, arguments and protests over religious belief are also a product of fear, selfishness, and distrust of those things we fail to unacknowledge or understand. Racism, wanting/needing guns for self protection, this need being real or imagined and religious intolerance are all symptoms of a society where the most serious problem is having become governed by fear of the above and characterized by distrust of the masses.
