Something something fragility yet other poetic thing. But not today. Yet again, latest goddamn thing and it proves thing about us. The only question is inspiring call to action or cowardly thing.

We know every day that this thing that keeps happening every few fucking days may happen again. The stats practically guarantee it. Look — in America, as opposed to European country that nobody’s been to, statistic that gun nuts won’t care about but which shows what we have to fix. We’ve gotten used to it as normal — but at what cost?

You know, those who think the Second Amendment is erotica don’t actually know trivia thing about Hamilton, Jefferson, and how the other amendments have changed. And while they want you to believe bullshit heroic thing that nobody ever pulls off, the cost for this is latest goddamn thing.

We’ve tried to discuss policy, but cynical thing about money in politics. And the painful fact is, money is money, and our culture is, in the words of de Tocqueville, something de Tocqueville said about us being violent or resistant or whatever. Maybe we need more than policy or culture, but some change of heart bullshit that won’t counteract the 300,000,000 guns but maybe it will because spirituality.

And here we are. Again. The TV mourns the hot tears of ratings and the families are transformed, like a profane version of Groundhog Day or other repetitive thing. And what will we do?

It must be more than just a thing on social media. But will it?

Stern call to action thing even though fuck it’s not like I know what the fuck to do either.

OK gun guys, put your usual shit in the comments and call us all ISIS or Belgians or whatever who fucking cares.
