The first signs of a dystopian society?

Via the Guardian -- a Scottsdale Arizona gun club offering families to pose with Santa and guns.

When members of society are popularly and broadly accepting incoherent and widely disparate ideas as functionally logical and moral, I think we're headed towards dystopia.

In this particular case, safety (by way of violence) is aligned and given parity to peace on Earth and goodwill to men.  The case can also be made that these people have no idea what peace and goodwill to men, actually means.  To them, it might be more of a case of shoot first, ask questions later.


Breaking News: SANTA DEAD.
December 25th, 2011 Scottsdale AZ

Santa was shot and killed while delivering presents to a family of five in Scottsdale, near Phoenix Arizona. Bob Roberts, father of three and owner of a dozen automatic guns, insisted he was legally protecting his presents, when he shot Santa.  Roberts was awakened in the middle of the night, by sounds of an intruder.  Fearful of his presents being stolen, he immediately grabbed his AK-47 replica, and shot at a shadow of a fat man, "It was breaking and entering.  I have a right to defend my presents.  He (Santa) never told us that he was coming."

Police and paramedics were called to the scene by neighbors who heard gunshots followed by screams from children.  Santa was declared dead on the scene, with at least a dozen gun shells lying around the floor of the Roberts home.  Police say that a full investigation will be conducted, but that they believe Roberts was legally in his right to shoot Santa for breaking and entering while leaving a wrapped iPad and other gifts.

Santa Claus is survived by a wife and a team of elves and flying reindeer.
