remember school shootings?

 Still curious about Mr Pillow I posted a question on fb asking if anybody had bought a pillow from the guy and was surprised to learn about five of my friends have.  None of them liked it.  The common complaint that it was just like a pillow you could buy at Target for 3.99.  So there you have it, overpriced and inferior.  Along the way I looked him up on wiki and he has been in plenty of trouble with the law.  A rich asshole who got his money by basically fraudulent means.  What is there for Trump not to like?

Haven't watched any of the democratic convention, well I have seen dribs and drabs.  Biden is a wonderful human being, Trump, not so much.  The Trump convention should be wild and wacky and I will probably sample that from time to time.

Friday morning and the bridges are down.  I can see maybe five cop cars with their bubblegum machines blinking scattered across downtown.  Not much action lately and none expected this weekend.  I hope that is the case, but you never know.

So how about those school shootings?  And what you may ask because there have been none of them, or mass shootings of any kind, for a couple years.  Well everybody agreed it was a terrible thing, and everybody agreed we ought to do something about it.  And in the end what we did about it was nothing.

The anti gun nuts were all about banning guns, particularly those super guns that kill so many so quickly.  The gun nuts were for anything as long as it didn't involve gun control.  They proposed mental health programs as if putting a few dollars into it (which they never were serious about doing) would solve a problem we have had since forever.  More ludicrous ideas like banning violent computer games and giving our souls to Jesus never happened.

We liberals were proud of those kids, those innocent babes, and their pure idealistic anti gun marches, but polls showed that for every marcher there was another kid who loved guns.  Myself I think at least the carnage would be lesser without super guns, but that is not going to happen anytime soon.

So do any of the fellows of the institute have any idea why there have been no shootings lately?  Damn I know I shouldn't have brought it up because if suddenly we have one next week it will all be my fault.
