  1. Extraordinary writing today, and you didn’t have to write a word.

  2. We can’t discuss this horrible incident now because it’s too soon before the next horrible incident.

  3. Hey, it’s a little better up here in Canada, but we’re on the way to catching up. Gun fever is getting worse here, day by day. The U.S., however, is descending into sheer madness. Is there any remedy? And is the human race worth saving anyway?

  4. “And is the human race worth saving anyway?” Damn good question. The species acts like warring ant colonies.

  5. And a judge in CA says AR-15s are no more dangerous than a Swiss Army knife.

  6. @Mary McNeil: Think how much the army can save on munitions!
