(3,978 posts)Bob Costas was correct with where he was going with this...the sentiment is growing and more and more realize we have to speak up. We were told yesterday was the day we couldn't talk about it. So, that means we can't talk about it today either? If not today when?
Start early, and often because this will be a long, hard struggle.

(13,485 posts)but we can't live in fear. The fear creates the background for misinformation and mental illness. It is terrible now and guns are completely out of control in America. But the worst is that the minds of Americans are being twisted by these events. Fear is as much an enemy as the far right gun advocates. Fear is what the killers play on; it's their food. Don't give in to them. Be strong and empowered against the evil that undermines humanity.
