1. Gun violence seems to be the #1 intentional form of killing in America.

Can be from a mugger in an ally or a racist cop in the middle of the street or a student with a grudge against the world. We make it way to easy to kill people in this country with firearms imo. All you need to do is point and click, er pull.

3. Brilliant connection being made between panic re ebola

and inaction re gun laws by Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney.

2. People freaking out over Ebola, yet we can't appoint the surgeon general....

...because he thinks guns are a health and safety issue. not one american killed by Ebola on american soil. Now at least 2 more kids dead from gun.

We are a seriously fucked up society.

5. As someone else put it

in something being passed around Facebook that my housemate read to me, more Americans have married Kim Kardassian than caught ebola. (Or maybe died from it, I wasn't really paying that close attention, since I was busy burning dinner.)
