Very well expressed!!! I also stand by my statement from a prior shooting episode (which don't get me wrong, I believe there is really something very wrong w our national culture that this keeps happening -- but it is not the existence of guns -- I think it is hate AND fear AND unresolved guilt and hurt and shame -- you know, soul issues) but anyway --
Who wins when everyone is fully absorbed in taking sides and screaming at each other? Not either of those sides, that's for sure. Corporations and big money politicians who quietly pass terrible legislation that strips resources from the poor while everyone is yelling themselves hoarse over guns and reinforcing our collective identity as a hopelessly bipartisan country that can never see eye to eye with itself.
Yes!!!
