Here’s a discussion between two people from my boyhood, whom I won’t identify by name, and whose comments I did not edit.

Old acquaintance 1: Guns, aren’t the problem, cars, alcohol, drugs, kill, way many more people. Let’s talk the truth here it’s people that are problem. How they are brought up , their mentality what they’re saying on the TV which in many cases is nothing but hatred you can call it like it is and this is the fact.

Old acquaintance 2: If an individual goes crazy, wants to hurt someone and has rock, he might hurt someone badly. If he has a gun, people will die. Yes the problem is people, let’s not allow them the weapons to deal with their sick solution.

The discussion makes me wonder how people in France or Japan or Croatia frame this discussion. I’m thinking that perhaps we in the U.S. have too many (barely literate) people like old acquaintance #1 to be able to deal with our problems intelligently, and that perhaps we’re doomed to remain stuck in neutral when it comes to issues like public safety.

Ann Coulter looks like a complete jackass every time she opens her mouth.

Why Progressives Are Succeeding

Yes, most Americans have progressive values when it comes to things like universal healthcare, quality education, wealth inequality, and environmental responsibility.

But I honestly believe that the reason progressives are doing well in the polls and the primary elections that Trumpism is nothing but a sick joke, and this is becoming clear to more people every day.

There is a certain class of lowlife that is thrilled that the U.S. is being led by a corrupt criminal, but these numbers are dwindling.
