Song of the Day 6/6: Sheryl Crow, “Can’t Cry Anymore”
Polling conducted after the Uvalde Massacre asked respondents if they feel that mass shootings are “unfortunately something we have to accept as part of a free society” or “something we can prevent and stop if we really tried.” To nobody’s surprise, 44% of Republicans said we just have to accept mass slaughter or we’re not free. To nobody’s surprise, none of them volunteered to be among the targets in the next Freedom Event.
We would never have another school shooting if we just had compulsory military service starting at age 5 for all kids with no exceptions. All education expenditures can be diverted to the defense of our country and the kids will have an opportunity to become heroes at a much earlier age.
