There just didn’t seem to be enough exciting news on the climate change front to use space for Earth Day yesterday. Earth Day is significant, but only one day during which a lot of politicians and other notables pretend to care. Every day, every moment should be a moment that you ask yourselves “does his add to the problem.

But today’s headlines are again focused on guns and how some folks in this country seem to think they can kill anyone and then claim they were endangered. A boy kicks on the wrong door BLAM! Woman turns into the wrong driveway BLAM! A cheerleader gets in the wrong car BLAM! A little girl’s ball rolls into a neighbors yard BLAM! Is this civilization? Do you think this is what the founders envisioned for this country?

Yet Fox News bought its way out of a lawsuit that might have delved into how they have been central to making this a fearful, hateful country where so many are armed and ready to kill.
