The politicians -- at least the RW in the pockets of the NRA -- Don't give a DAMN about the people!

You KNOW we're no longer anything resembling a "democracy" when 93% of the population

wants simple background checks, as they showed after the horrific Newtown massacre, but are denied.

It was bad enough when these senseless shootings occurred a few times a year -- Now they're happening every WEEK!

ThanK God, Mr. WTH and I will retire in a couple of years, because if the situation doesn't change, we're leaving

this place -- It's become INSANE in this country, and I say that as one who remembers when if it wasn't

perfect, but at least bore signs of normality.

Sorry for all the caps, but I'm sure I speak for most when I say we're LIVID about the growing body count

that is due to NOTHING more than the outsized influence of Money and the NRA.
