The terrorist is us: Americans commit more than one mass shooting every day [View all]
On Earth Day 1970, comic strip character Pogo famously paraphrased Admiral Perry. “We have met the enemy and he is us,” read the little possum’s word balloon as he stood sickened, shamed and bewildered, holding a trash bag amid the incomprehensible human garbage in the once-happy forest.
On Friday, we all watched sickened, shamed and bewildered — again — holding nothing but useless prayers amid the incomprehensible human carnage that was the once-happy vacation airport in Fort Lauderdale.
We have met the terrorist and he is us.
Yes, we are our own terrorists, killing each other in record numbers that keep climbing.
