About 60 percent of all the wealth in America today is inherited, according to estimates by economist Thomas Piketty and his colleagues. That’s because, under U.S. tax law – which is itself largely a product of lobbying by the wealthy – the capital gains of one generation are wiped out when those assets are transferred to the next, and the estate tax is so tiny that fewer than 0.2 percent of estates were subject to it last year.
If unearned income were treated the same as earned income under the tax code, America’s non-working rich wouldn’t be billionaires. And if capital gains weren’t eliminated at death, many heirs wouldn’t be, either.
An "illegal" raped a little girl. A ten year old child who had to drive to another state to get an abortion.
A politician focuses on criminalizing the doctor instead of the rapist. The doctor that helped the traumatized little girl.
Republicans care more about usurping health care than horrid crimes by their boogeyman illegals! The ones they told us will rape us! Now, this particular one did and I'm trying to make a point here. However, if I have to type out that I'm trying to make a point, I'm not doing a very good job at it. I don't like using the word illegals for people and I don't think people that get into the country without paperwork are rapists.
Epicurus promoted an innovative theory of justice as a social contract. Justice, Epicurus said, is an agreement neither to harm nor be harmed, and we need to have such a contract in order to enjoy fully the benefits of living together in a well-ordered society. Laws and punishments are needed to keep misguided fools in line who would otherwise break the contract. But the wise person sees the usefulness of justice, and because of his limited desires, he has no need to engage in the conduct prohibited by the laws in any case. Laws that are useful for promoting happiness are just, but those that are not useful are not just. (Principal Doctrines 31-40) -copied from wikipedia

Avenge your own soul
(“It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.) In other words, let go and let God
The tria prima also defined the human identity. Salt represented the body; mercury represented the spirit (imagination, moral judgment, and the higher mental faculties); sulphur represented the soul (the emotions and desires).
Until we can get a hold of the gun situations, we will post trained soldiers with AR-15s at the exits and entrances guarding schools, grocery stores, concerts, dance clubs, movie theaters, graduation parties, [insert new mass shooting location here:parade, national park] and other places where people gather.
How do we set a sympathetic tone while not taking liability as we wait out the next news cycle?
Meanwhile, more babies gone, more mass murders, more lies about false flags, egregious accusations that grieving parents have nothing to grieve.
Enrage and hopelessness
If there is a Class Action suit against the Gun Lobby and the Congress people they bought,
I want to sign on.
What New Zealand is doing:
I don't think we need weapons of war in civilian hands, but since it is hard enough to get a fucking background check, I propose that those who want to shoot an AR-15 be allowed to join a shooting range membership. The shooting range is the only place these weapons will be discharged and the only place these weapons will be stored. The shooting range will be responsible for the thoughtful, careful and secure storage of the owners guns. Weapons of war should not be stored within neighborhoods, nor houses, nor within a certain distance from schools. In an ideal world, the members of the shooting range will have a background check and a psychological review before being allowed in the club.
Meanwhile...how many weapons of war are floating around unsafely in the hands of unstable people whose anguished backwards views are increasingly incubated by unchecked social media platforms?
Kill two birds with one stone, to save the murder.
Just wait until this passes and continue on and also, nice choice of words fuckface:
“I don’t know what the silver bullet is,” Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) said. “I think that it is incumbent on all of us to be open-minded and to see what makes sense.”
So, maybe a teenager carrying two weapons of war and murdering 30 babies? Is that the fucking silver bullet you craven fuckless wonder? How many more mass deaths?
What fucking “makes sense”? What is “open-minded” to you? 91% of US citizens want sane gun control laws. 91%! We aren’t asking to take away all guns. We are asking to get weapons of war off the streets. We can’t let this pass with thoughts and prayers and moments of silence.
