We may feel our way to deal with global warming is the right way. Global warming is a serious issue, but the answer may lie in science and converting Ozone and squelching volcanoes and stop making anything of plastic. I think we have all successfully defined the problem, but all the straws given up in this world is not going to stop global warming.

I love children and I can see that they are frightened to death right now of being shot at school, but the answers they have may not be the best answers. I think older, more experienced people need to see that they are protected, instead of changing laws that will NOT stop a mentally ill person from killing innocent kids. No one needs an assault rifle. I have never even touched a gun, we don't have them, but how I look at it and you look at it are at odds. I would like to have one if I ever need one.

I wonder what will happen to the young man who is so vocal about the shooting he survived in Broward county. Will he do better than those who are not activists? Time will tell. I wish we never had to be discussing this at all.

I can certainly agree with you that it is a sad state to have to be discussing this at all, GG.
