The previous month, on its own soil, an American man went to his job at a plant and gunned down fourteen coworkers, and last spring alone there were four different school shootings.

Oh oh, and... A zillion thanks to J. Kaye for this Blog Award! I was so thrilled to come back home and see this award!
