I never have posts scheduled in advance. I usually wake up and decide after my coffee where my writing will go for the day. Today is once again in the shadow of a mass shooting. I’ve written way too many posts in response to shootings. Instead of finding some new way to say the same thing, here is some of what I have written if you care to read.
Monday Morning in the Shadow of Hate
It’s Way Past Time For “Politics”
I would love to live in a world where there is never a reason to write any of this again. As long as we keep voting in the people who are beholden to special interest groups and care more about power than people, that will never happen.

I’m with you in my speechlessness.

I don’t know how these people live with themselves. It’s time to do something, no more prayers, thanks.

I really think we need to protect our schools. My kids high school had one entry with an armed guard. You had to show your ID through a metal fence before you were allowed in. That was after three students committed suicide within months of each other.

I do deliveries once a week to two elementary schools. You have to press a button and they can see you in celery before opening the door. I’m shocked at the number of parents who will hold the door open for me if they are buzzed in and I’m approaching the door.

That’s scary. At my kids’ high school, my daughter would knock on a classroom door on the outside of the building, and someone would open the door for her.

I read all your previous pieces on this subject and you’ve spoken most eloquently indeed on the subject. Oh but were that enough.
A UK political activist I follow made a comment on Twitter about the shooting – the first time he’s strayed from UK matters – and commented later that he received all the levels of crazy in response, including many suggesting that if guns weren’t available freely to all, the British would then take over the US and impose a monarchy. As he said, that made it clear to him quite how difficult a task is facing the good people of America who oppose the gun lobby.

Yeah. Some people I know seem sure they need the guns to overthrow any government that tries to take over the country
