America: Awash in Gun Violence
By DH on Feb 16, 2008 in Personal notes
Six more senseless killings on a college campus, and politicians sadly intone that, “we must do everything in our power to stop this … “blah, blah, blah.” But, of course, they don’t actually intend to do anything.
Politicians have had it in their power to do something about gun violence in America for decades that has contributed to a culture of violence were it not for their personal fear of the NRA and its political and financial clout. Let’s face it — politicians put their own job security and protection of campaign contributions ahead of public safety.
Isn’t it about time that politicians … or at least those few who are authentic leaders … stood up against the NRA and really addressed the issue of gun violence?
As I observe, consult and write books and articles about reputation and brand leadership in today's highly competitive world, I will share thoughts and perspective on this blog.
