On the List

Another

Two children and two teachers are dead.  Nine more are in the hospital.  A fourteen year-old with an AR “style” weapon is the cause.  Sure, our hearts are with them, the students and faculty and administration of Appalachee High School. They are “just” another high school that now is “on the list”.  But there’s little more to say.  

We, the people of the United States, have made a choice.  We could choose to make changes, to make a difference, to protect our children and our people. Instead, we choose to be helpless.  

I’ve been writing essays on Our America since 2017.  Twenty-six times I’ve written about America’s sick willingness to allow mass shootings.   I don’t have much new to say except – when we decide to change, we can.
