#Symptoms

Your temperature registers 101 degrees and you feel puny and your first thought is to take an aspirin or something to lower your temp. It doesn't register with you that there may be something going on inside your body that is causing the rise in your temperature. It could be something serious, but all you are concerned with is lowering the symptom. Many times we don't think past the symptoms and conclude that the symptom is the problem. The body was created with the marvelous ability to heal itself and the white blood cells become an army to fight bacteria that has invaded their territory. The equipment that manufactures white blood cells goes into mass production when an enemy is detected and it heats up, hence a fever. We just may interfere if we lower the temperature of the equipment and slow the manufacturing process down. We just may create a bigger problem.

Our law makers are looking at a symptom and calling it a problem. They have seen mass shootings and decided that guns are the problem. A gun resting on a counter isn't capable of doing anything. Removing guns is their solution, but people who want to kill will find other ways to do it. Look at London and how killings with knives has skyrocketed. Will anyone come up with an antibiotic to eliminate the problem? Is there anyone with wisdom in the House? Will crying children rule? Are we going to continue treating the symptom and just making the problem get worse?
