Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales was on TV and I looked up the actress in it. Kaya Scodelario. Oh, I’ve seen her before. Got an email about the Starfarers book by Vonda N. McIntyre, whose website says The King’s Daughter was made into a movie. The star? Kaya Scodelario. Coincidence!

“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Saying other countries have higher homicide rates ignores the fact the actual gun deaths are fewer because the population is smaller. And almost none of those are mass murders of children. Stop excusing child murder.
