This story is a three fold effort. 1. An expansion of my Autobiographical first Novel , 'Under The Palm Tree A Journey From Childhood To Retirement.' 2. Some Comments on the life on Main Street with a few poems. 3. A hard look at the gun violence in today’s Society and what factor’s may be complicit and how to deal with this destructive behavior which is an epidemic today. I draw all my conclusions from Erich Fromm’s brilliant Analogy titled, 'The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness' Published by Holt, Rinehart And Winston. His analogy is without a doubt a vital tool to be listened to so these needed adjustments with human destructive behavior are implemented forthwith. Reading once again the words from this great Mentor was like a bolt of lightening striking the very essence of the problems facing our nation today. I stand assured that if we follow Dr Fromm advice we will see a lessening of these wanton acts of violence. I pray for those results as it may be possible if we look at them in the Light of Day.
