Husband, writer, editor, sports nut, music nut, love puzzles, books, beautiful photos and people who actually think. And will always support those who need a voice. Glad to talk and make friends but NO crypto or anything else asking for money.

Reminds me of the Tom Waits analogy about his voice being soaked in bourbon, then left hung to dry and then run over by a car several times. Only difference is that Tom Waits is freaking awesome. Unlike this guy...

One thing that really hits you when you're directly affected by gun violence in schools is that there's nowhere to hide. Public, private, religious, whatever - unless you're going to homeschool your kids, we live in a world where they're at risk of something like this happening.

Or they endlessly bash their own on a daily basis for sins real or imagined and it spawns a "division" narrative where perception, even if false, turns into reality. Purity won't work here. Massive, focused resistance will.
