9. At this point, we would settle for a half a$$ effort to stop the carnage.

At least it would be something! But these jackasses just stand there with a strange, wistful look on their faces, hands clasped, and somberly offer condolences and exhort us to pray. Well, you fools, lots of people HAVE been praying that you would do something besides offering platitudes and empty promises!

We are worn out with this foolishness. If you think we will just forget about it and move on to the next chapter in this Fresh Hell, you are mistaken. Our cup is just about filled to the brim with the anger and tears of frustration caused by the killings but also your lack of action. We look to you, our leaders in DC to do something to stop this insanity. Instead we find out that many of you are bought by the gun lobby to maintain the status quo. You sold your very soul for blood money. How does that feel to have the blood of children and other innocents on your hands? I hope the money was good because somewhere along the line, you will pay for your greed and lack of concern for your constituents.

In the meantime, we need to be hounding the living life out of these fools. Marching in the streets is not out of line. Maybe if they have to hear from us en mass every.single.day they will know we mean business. Their days in office are numbered. If someone will step forward with sincere plans to help us stop the carnage, we will boot the old guard out and put new people in who will do the work for the people. Count on it.
