GIRLS, GUYS AND GUNS
I think even the stratosphere reverberated with these last mass murders and I heard and felt the earth move.
O.K. so I don’t read the news. I don’t listen to the news. Except for periodicals and books, I am beholden to the kindness of friends and strangers for current events.

The Universe spoke: ENOUGH! ENOUGH!
Without moral leadership, what is to be done???
Do I fall back on the "keeping of my sanity" rationale that this is all part of the human condition?
I want any young men who buy a gun to be treated like young women who seek an abortion. Think about it: a mandatory 48-hours waiting period, written permission from a parent or a judge, a note from a doctor proving that he understands what he is about to do, time spent watching a video on individual and mass murders, traveling hundreds of miles at his own expense to the nearest gun shop, and walking through protestors holding photos of loved ones killed by guns, protestor who call him a murderer.
After all, it makes more sense to do this for young men seeking guns than for young women seeking an abortion. No young woman needing reproductive freedom has ever murdered a roomful of strangers.
~ Original Author Unknown Or do I take this seriously and send it out to my friends and family and pray we can get a groundswell going to press for legislation to prevent the next mass murder.
I opt for the groundswell (whatever that is), right? Of course, right!
