The nation experienced another tragic school massacre yesterday. On cue, the same old arguments have emerged and I, for one, tire of the same old arguments. It’s not about guns. It’s about societal rot—the decay of a nation’s soul. Does this nation no longer believe in the sanctity of life? Today, I see the repeated question, “What can this nation do about guns?” Wrong question. Let’s ask what this nation can do about mental health. Let’s ask what this nation can do about the loss of institutions and the loss of trust.

It’s not about politics, it’s about people. It’s not a problem of too little government, it’s a problem of too little mercy, grace, and God.

I make my points more succinctly in this edition of the Scott Cast.

My name is Scott James. For four decades, it has been my honor to have an ongoing conversation with the people of Colorado. As a radio personality, as a community advocate and leader, as an elected public servant, and as a friend I have come to know and love you. The Scott Cast will be filled with just my random thoughts - culture, society, spirituality, politics, and explanations of things I believe need explaining.

If you’re punking us, I applaud you. If you’re serious, I’m happy to set you up with a guided tour of any ranch during calving season.

"Yeah, I'm pissed,'' he said. "Everybody up here is getting edgy and at our wit's end. All of the headaches and stress you normally have, especially during calving season, and then to throw this all on top of it? It feels like you’re getting slapped in the face every freakin’

Looks like @RepDaveWilliams did more than take money from China, he learned their politics as well. This is NOT how we act in the Republican party. We believe the most important speech to protect is speech you don’t agree with!! Wuhan Dave doesn’t represent me. #Freedomofspeech

Sandra Fish is a fair; honest and respected reporter.
As a Republican I’m embarrassed by the GOP chair.
As a State Senator I’m stunned by the blatant disregard for our Constitution - and by a former Legislator no less. Disgusting.
