People keep saying how can this happen

I have a few opinons and since I have this opportunity to voice my opinion I am going to state what I feel is the obvious.
Here we go.  I believe the United States has turned into a me country.  Everywhere we go its me me me. I beleive it started in the 50's/  Our soldiers came back home after the war and the women who had been doing the men's jobs while they were gone decided they liked the extra money so they continued to work and there were now 2 income families.  This meant more money at home to spend on the kids, and the mothers felt gluilty for not being home so they bought more and more and more
The disipline changed from the guilt it went from I said no and that's that to please do it for mommy and I will give you a surprise. It esculates more with each generation. 
I have sat in a childrens Sunday class and watched young motfhers let their childrens dictate the atmosphere of the room and of course when one starts others join in.  And we older ladies don't want to interfere for fear of making waves in the church/.  So we just sit there and look at other older ladies and roll our eyes. 
It has grown so that now the grown ups are adutls and still believe they can have everything that they want.  I worked in human resourses for years and watched as the interview for hiring went from the
prospective employee went from the attitued of Look what I can do for you to what can you do for me. The demands got bigger and bigger thanks in part to unions and we have demanded ourselves right out of Now don't get me wrong unions can be a good thing but they also can be distructive to our workforce and our llvelyhoods. 
I do not consider myself a very intelligent women. however. anyone with half a brain can tell we are spoiled way out of proportion. 
I don't want to harp on the past but for you older and I mean much older people think about when you got married.  IF you were like us you had hand me down furniture and a bearly running old car.  We thought we had the world.  My husband was in the military and Viet Nam was a threat everyday.  So we lived with that fear, It never occured to us to go to our parents and ask for money. They were in the same boat of trying to keep there lives going as best they could. I did go to stay with my parents when my husband went to war.  I worked and paid them a little not because they asked for it but because it was the right thing to do. How many parents are receiving help from their children when they come back home. 
This last week has been another example to me of the me thing. I don't want to dwell on the tragedy but why in the world would a mother who knows her child has massive problems choose to keep fireams in the house.If she enjoyed target practice then keep the guns somewhere else or lock them securely away from the family.  While this sounds terrible and am going to say it anyway.  Thank goodness the son killed her before he took other lives.  I don't think she could have withstood the pain and agony of knowning what happened.  I have thoguht about it a lot and I would want to be dead in that case.
Not to be rude but they seay they were well off, and there is nothing wrong with being well off. It seems like she could have gotten help but I am not to judge that is God's decision.
Last God,  people say why did God let such a thing happpen.  I remember when my brother was 28 years old and his plane, he was a pilot in the Air Force, crashed.   At the funeral the one thing the minister said that has always stuck with me.  Wouldn't it be awful if only old people were in heaven.
Think about it

Don't let the holidays go by without talking to loved ones.  God keeps in touch with us let's do the same.   Luv ya Sass
