Women in the U.S. are 21 times more likely to be shot and killed than women in any other high-income country. Every country is home to domestic abusers, only America gives them easy access to arsenals and ammunition.

There is more violent behavior happening all around the U.S, than I have seen in my life. People suddenly stabbing strangers. Daily mass shootings. People driving cars into crowds. There seems to be no logical reason for it.

Did some reading on subliminal messaging over the weekend.

And came across a most informative article by a former Fox anchor on how the station's brainwashing works. It's well worth reading.

Ex-Fox anchor explains how to start deprogramming your Fox-brainwashed friends and relatives

However I wouldn't rule out the possibility that split-second messages are being flashed across TV and computer screens on some sites. It's illegal to do this on TV, but I doubt the FCC does anything about it these days. And I'm certain the technology for sending subtle messages encouraging violence has improved to the point that it's almost undetectable.

in the only country where mass shootings are a regular occurrence, the solution will always be to keep wondering why they keep happening without doing anything to stop it.
