Now that all the Glock smoke has dissipated from the Safeway parking lot in Tucson, we can go back to where we were before Congresswoman Giffords was shot this past weekend. The pundits on each side of the popular issues of the day have lined up behind their familiar barricades, loading their lexicons with righteous rhetoric to fire at each other; while we, the public, are left to sort through the empty shells. Depending on who you like to believe, whether it's Brooks or Shields on PBS, O'Reilly on FOX or Olberman on MSNBC, you will again find yourself following the same pattern we always follow and coming up with the same "progress" toward "change." None. Meanwhile, the "People's House" worries about ways to better fortify itself against the onslaughts of enraged citizenry, each additional "check point" enhancing an environment of terror and securing lobbyist access.
