You said it, Sally. It seems that the “alarmed” public is more obsessed with the details of each incident than working to elect candidates who pledge to enact common sense gun laws. We’re living in a morbid reality show…

so chat gpt splooges your posts.

Lemme tell you, America has plenty of poorly educated protoplasm running around.

Few overscheduled parents have the resources to do more than ferry their crotch whelp to school and scheduled activities. Discussing consent, self respect, body image or developing critical thinking skills is way above their pay grade.

Few have taken their kiddos on nature walks or bought a chemistry set and explored stinks and pops.

so tant pis.
