Has the country finally gone completely mad?

While we try to fix the problem:

Idiots are trying to legislate:

The Mentally Ill Appear at the Gun Hearing

Meet the NRA's enemies list. As you'd expect, it's nuts.

And people are still dying:

All day long I staved off crying as I faced a succession of pieces of music from my childhood, music I shall never play again. To many this is no tragedy and no victory; to me, it was. Then I listened to Rep. Giffords's short speech, delivered with a passion I would not have thought possible... and I fell immediately into tears.

We've got to stop killing our children. I don't know how, but we've got to do it. The issue is not political; the action is not optional: stop the killing or see our society collapse. We must do this.

I understand the mourning for lost expression. To have your voice silenced is horrible and I'm so sorry. I am comforted by a conversation I had with a fellow artist who said there are other ways of expressing yourself because they are all from the same muse. I hope your love of all things musical can be satisfied in other ways.

Hugs to you, Steve.
