... "the" corporate media sucks, but just in case you didn't notice, the sane people in America are fed up the slaughter of people by the gun culture. You think they should just ignore that? WTF?

What's "really going on in this country," is that psychos have easy access to human meatgrinding machines and they are using them.

Furthermore, I can't speak for you ,but I and most others are fully capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time.
