When do we stand up to this plague?

1. Contrarians will say 32 @ day is not significant compared to ____________ , so I think we

should help them to understand that if ONE isn't too much, more, no matter how much more, of any ONE thing that is not intrinsically significant in and of it's ONE self, is not more significant.

And if ONE life is not intrinsically valuable in and of itself, we need to admit that fact, because, therefore, NO LIFE is inherently valuable in and of itself, so, like the fellow who walked into that school today, and his entire cohort sitting out there latent until it becomes "necessary" to act in whatever is the most accessible and satisfying way possible, just go ahead and "get it over with", because that IS the truth about ourselves.

BTW, I lay one whole HELL of a lot of this problem squarely at the feet of phony "Pro-Lifers" who have become THE political force behind WAR and OPPRESSION in its many many forms, especially the oppression of latent constant un-remitting VIOLENCE.

What calls itself Pro-Life IS A DEATH CULT connected to most of the big issues of our day especially un-controlled gun-ownership and the rise in political power of a FASCIST organization known as the NRA.

2. And they all need concealed carry to protect themselves from the boogie (black) man

They wonder where the criminals get guns from. The guns are everywhere. When a house gets broken into, they look in the nightstand or between the mattress and box spring for the handgun, in the desk, wherever they can find a gun they take it. And SO SO many are unregistered or grandfathered from previous generations chances are the guns theft are never reported.


on top of the eager straw man purchases made daily.


Until the flood is contained the violence will continue.
