Bill Moyers Essay: Living Under the Gun
July 20, 2012

In a web-exclusive video essay, Bill Moyers says Friday’s deadly shooting in Colorado is yet another tragic indication that our society — and too many of our politicians — covet guns more than common sense or life itself. The National Rifle Association in particular, Bill says, “has turned the Second Amendment of the Constitution into a cruel and deadly hoax.”

I think what concerns me most about where DU has gone, in general, is that we used to THRIVE on voices
like Bill Moyers, Helen Thomas, David Hackworth. (RIP)

Now we can not seem to focus on anything resembling creative thinking for 5 minutes even.
