In this space on other occasions, I've raged like a beardless King Lear as the sea of opioid abuse slowly engulfs us. I have no idea what a solution for that looks like and I can only take small solace that it seems to be in a footrace with gun violence (again) for which will destroy us first.
More sending of thoughts and prayers.
We tell one another we have no idea how these tragedies happen and never get close to speaking about the why.
Stop looking at people with whom you disagree with murder in your heart because far too often and far too easily, it moves from the heart to the real world, real fast.
What if we repeal the Dickey Amendment and study guns and violence across our culture as the illness it has become? Right now we don't know we what we don't know about the relationship between all manner of guns and all manner of violence and we need to find out before we succeed in killing one another. Please.
