I'm back home and I just feel raw.

[undeterred]

75. I seem to be surrounded by people who have tuned the whole thing out.

I asked a person at work on Monday who is an Obama supporter if she had heard the President's speech last night. She looked at me blankly and said "what speech?"

I told her he went to NewTown to comfort the families of the children and teachers who were killed and that it looked like he really wanted to do something about gun control. And she launched into "that's never going to happen" and started telling me that you can't stop things like this from happening because people have a right to own guns blah blah blah.

I said 'You didn't watch any of the coverage did you?' and she said no. The she started telling me how much her boyfriend loved guns and it would be terrible if he had to give them up.

Just no connection at all. I walked away.
