Opinion: Mass Shootings Are A Mental Health Issue, Not A Gun Regulations Issue
The rise in mass shootings is a complex issue, and there is much debate as to the cause. However, it is clear that many of the perpetrators of these heinous crimes have a history of mental illness. In fact, studies have shown that individuals with mental illness are more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators. Nevertheless, the media and some politicians have pointed to gun control as the solution to the problem of mass shootings. This essay argues that the increase in mass shootings is a result of mental health issues in society and not a lack of gun regulation.

Capitalism On Both Ends Of The Stick: My Two Cents Worth
What this article is about, and is not about. This article highlights all sides of capitalism. It is a political and tender subject, yet needless to say, it is not a criticism or a complaint of any politician who was and is in power, as at the time of writing this. This article is about the system created by Adam Smith, author of The Wealth of Nations, and that the system as a whole is a complex machine; where creativity should (and I am not saying this lightly) trump over rigidity and linear ways of thinking. Again, what this article is about is sharing some recent perspectives of capitalism; both the joys and the constructive criticisms of such, of which some of these concepts could be quite personal in nature; simply to illustrate a point. It is not a full rundown or debate on this system; otherwise this article would be a thesis in and of itself; and quite frankly, I do not have the time or inclination for that right now. It is encouraging you to think a little deeper if you so choose to, in order to be aware, and to make your own decisions.

Victims point to deadly duplicity at heart of WEF strategy
I don’t know why, but whenever there are reports in the media about a mass shooting, such as the recent tragedy in California’s Monterey Park, or a missing sea vessel or plane, like the 2014 disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, I immediately ask myself: “Who were the victims?”
