@marissa_rae I can't help it when their gums flap about how much weaker we (the species) are now that we don't allow "the weak" to die, I stop wanting to be around them. Telling me that you wish my friends and family were dead for the sake of some vague notion of "the fittest" is repellent.

All the people flapping their gums about how much better life was "back then" -- whatever "then" means -- are not grappling with childhood mortality, period. I don't care how healthful a lifestyle your ancestors had; they were losing half their family before they turned 20.

If you have a gun to protect your family, you are, as a matter of cold hard statistics, endangering your family and everyone you know.

A friendly reminder: Mueller indicted Prigozhin. And his troll farm.
