Ignore the profanity in the title. This article is the opposite and a very good read.
"America, can we talk? Let’s just cut the shit for once and actually talk about what’s going on without blustering and pretending we’re actually doing a good job at adulting as a country right now. We’re not. We’re really screwing this whole society thing up, and we have to do better. We don’t have a choice. People are dying. At this rate, it’s not if your kids, or mine, are involved in a school shooting, it’s when. One of these happens every 60 hours on average in the US. If you think it can’t affect you, you’re wrong. Dead wrong. So let’s talk."
Susan, I got an e-mail today that I'd like to forward to you. Would you please send me your address? cosmoscat(at)earthlink(dot)net Thanks.
BTW you were great on my FB thread the other day. The guy who was arguing with you is sort of a jerk, though I hadn't realized quite how much of a jerk. I stay in contact with him because he's an SF writer. I may have to reassess.
My dear husband realised today that what's needed is we must repeal the Second Amendment. We can replace it with something else that makes sense, but this one has got to go. People have to register a car. They have to pass a test and show that they can drive. And they have to carry insurance. After all, a car can be deadly. People should have to register a gun, show that they can use it safely, and carry insurance.

He's not as good as Borowitz, but I enjoy his stuff.

Thanks to Bill and Susan for educating me about Bernie bros; to tell the truth I never paid much attention to it.
