Words of wisdom...

Quote from 'The Late Scholar' by Jill Paton Walsh (working with the wonderful characters Dorothy Sayers created of Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane):

"One of my colleagues in Birmingham University, where I come from,' said Trevair, 'is a moral philosopher. He taught me that one of the ways to judge a course of action is to consider what company it puts one in. I doubt if that's very good philosophy, but I find it a good rule of thumb." (109)


I think the GOP could use this about now....

Las Vegas shooter was not alone....

"New theory suggests the Las Vegas gunman didn't act alone, but was assisted by 51 senators and 298 representatives."

Cowardly politicians, greedy NRA, indifferent rich people....

When politicians say it's too soon to talk about gun control, we need to say it's not this shooting we're talking about but the last one.... and the one before that.... and the one before that.
