I have posted many times about the difference between a problem and a dilemma. The problem has a potential solution, the dilemma only has a decision. I think contrasting a predicament with a problem is a great point. If we are going to drive cars, we are going to have car accidents. That is a predicament. These massacres are a problem to a point i.e. too many guns, but at some point becomes a predicament i.e. human insanity. I always said, we call people crazy, but then expect them to not act crazy. The kid who killed all those people was crazy when he did it. What else is there to know? And why are we spending two days of news on it? It seems to me what is going on in Syria is much more important. From what I hear both sides are laying waste to the country.
