Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

It's The Guns

 Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, a friend of mine's son was wounded by what appears to be just another angry, random shooting. 

It's the guns, it's the guns, it's the guns. Their ubiquity and the psychology that gives you the power of death in your hands. That this psychopath was shooting off a weapon of war in his yard should be enough. That he then went into the house and executed the people there no longer surprises.

We aren't a sicker society because these people exist. They exist everywhere. We are a sicker society because we don't do a damned thing about it.
