i just find it gross that we cannot deal with this epidemic in an adult way.
I will not watch the interviews because it is ratings porn.
When a bunch of kids got shot in their classrooms and we did nothing--we proved that we were morally bankrupt.
I don't want to watch the pain of the weekly massacre survivors when I know it means nothing.
It's not good for my soul.
