America's Thriving Gun Culture
In the last five decades Americans have witnessed an alarming upsurge in incidents of public - space mass murders . The F.B.I. reportedly defines mass murder as a death scene investigation involving 4 or more deceased individuals. It was previously thought that
mass murders were only committed by disassociated-American citizens. However, recent studies indicate that a majority of these occurrences were ignited by hatred, bigotry, vengeance and/or intolerance. Additionally, these unsettling multiple killings have often been committed by individuals with suspected disorder(s) of the mind. Moreover, it should be noted that a majority of these offenders were also excessively armed perpetrators of violence. Across the nation, many event planers and crowd management professionals would be remise in their duties if the possibility of death by firearm use or abuse was not a prioritized agenda item. Moreover, scores of healthcare professional and most recently the CDC note incidents of firearm deaths as signaling the real possibility of a public safety issue.
Once the domain of law enforcement, veterans and hunters, shooting ranges now cater to a more diversified clientele. Now, it is not uncommon to observe children too young to legally drive, drink and/or smoke practicing at the shooting range with combat proven side arms, rapid firing weapons. Have we become immune to death by firearms? Given the growing issues of polarization over Amendment Rights vs. Human Rights; political ideology vs. national ideology, what looms ahead for America? When will enough, be enough? Or is the real question - Can our thriving gun culture snuff out a once thriving culture image?

Several decades ago it was not uncommon to hear many African-American ancestors often proclaimed: 'You are what you eat.' This was the generation that honored and was closer to the soil. This was the generation that ate fresh and complete meals. Besides a 'tall glass of water', complete meals always included foodstuffs from above, below and upon the earth. This was the generation upon which Kellogg built his innovative health spa. This was the generation of patriot victory gardens. Now, that I'm in my septuagenarian years I have also come to believe that my ancestors had gotten it right and I have begun heeding their sage advice. These savvy seniors held on to the same belief that their ancestors held. My age-appropriate nutritional needs are best achieved by a dietary emphasis upon seasonal produce, fresh meat, poultry, fowl, whole grains and fiber-rich foods. My elders truly knew that one of the most important keys to longevity and optimal health was simply ~ Eat Well to Be Well. Has your diet changed due to age, wisdom an/or medical restrictions? If so, how?
