You know how I feel about
Inefficiency, right? It’s on my own personal list of Deadly Sins.
Well, try this on for size.
Newsworthy event. National
outrage. Promises to enact reform.
Repeat.
Repeat.
Repeat.
Every time this happens, tallies
are kept: Lives lost, economic damage, trauma endured…yet nothing changes, and
the costs mount.
We keep repeating the cycle
because our “isms” are too deeply engrained: Racism, Sexism, Religious -isms. They
make people believe that others are inferior, and should be treated as such.
We have all kinds of motivation
to find ways to educate people on the hazards of fallacious thinking, and take
action against those who hurt others based on that thinking; but we don’t follow
through.
So we keep doing the same thing,
over and over.
It’s an inefficient way to run a
country.
(See? Inefficiency really can
be a deadly sin.)
