What a satanic Gogol metamorphosis playing out in those higher and lower education campuses where intelligence, quietmindedness and innocence are being gunned down….”a treadmill to oblivion” as Fred Allen put it.
A cornucopia of trigger happy lost souls, seeking revenge for their fate… in life’s lottery.

A perversion so immense that tongues are tied, critical minds are muted deaf and dumb, as the violent rampage goes on and on unabated.

Even the late actor Charlton Heston, the spokesman for the politically powerful gun lobby …..
In his Henry V (fly over) recitation at Duxford RAF museum,joined the mercenary patter.
“My soul shall keep company to Heaven.
Tarry sweet soul for mine.

The brightest of invention.
A Kingdom for a stage.. Princes to act.
Monarchs to behold the swelling scene”

Where is Colonel Paley , Ed Murrow, Walter Cronkite to speak up as they did when Senator Joe McCarthy went on his self serving ballistic .

“A treadmill to oblivion”.
