I was talking with my facebook friends about Pinker's idea that we are some how less violent than we were (which i don't buy) and some attempted to say we were MORE voilent.

my response is we have always been equally violent, or crazy but now we have better access to weapons.

this guy used a semi automatic with 400 rounds available to him that night. had he had to use a normal hand gun, he could not have done that much damage. had he had to use a front loader, even less damage. had he had to use his fists or a handy stick...well, it's not necessarily humanity that is worse, just our ablity to act out our hate and anger.
