ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING. HO HUM.

IS SHOOTING PEOPLE A FORM OF ATHLETICS?  I arose today to reports of yet one more mass shooting. Even bigger than the one in Orlando, there are 50 people dead and hundreds more in the hospital. This time, it was Las Vegas. The shooter had (at last report) at least ten automatic weapons. Maybe they … Continue reading ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING. HO HUM.
