MARCH FOR OUR LIVES

There were demonstrations across the U.S. yesterday demanding greatly increased regulation of firearms. They were organized by March For Our Lives, founded by a survivor of the Parkland school shooting in Florida. The anger keeps rising and rising with every massacre, people like these take to the streets, and yet nothing ever happens. The culture of much of this country and big money political influence make lots of lawmakers rigid, as I see it, valuing firearms over lives. And since voting districts can be so manipulated in this country and one party leans toward throwing out election results it doesn't like, I fear for the future.

I just watched CNN reporting about the demonstrations. And read about it in my morning paper. A sad sitiation that only gets worse.

The worry is entirely justified.

I heard about the marches after they happened. I might have gone.
