"It's the fear of getting killed that is getting a lot of us killed. But it's also other fears that are winding us up and making a few of us go crazy enough to take off on a shooting rampage. Unlike in other civilized countries where people take care of each other -- with free health care, generous compensation for the unemployed, free or nearly-free college education, strict laws on credit card debt and junk mortgages, serious help and treatment for the mentally ill, aid for aging and infirm people and the list goes on and on. From Ireland to Italy to Norway, from New Zealand to South Korea to Morocco, governments all over the world have discovered that the real way to reduce violence is to simply take care of each other." -- Michael Moore, "Michael Moore on New Wave of Gun Violence: 'The NRA Is Actually Half Right'", 2015-12-22

[Wishing y'all a good fourth day of Christmas! (Which is also Childermas for Catholics, Anglicans, and Lutherans. (Childermas is tomorrow for Eastern Orthodox folks.)) Also wishing a joyous third day of Kwanzaa to folks celebrating it!]
