Angels in America

I thought February would never end, but tonight it will.  I thought this country would never wake up to the public health nightmare of private gun ownership, but there is at least a whisper of hope that it has.  Some of the credit goes to this eighteen-year-old woman.

She was the de facto keynote speaker at the NeverAgain rally in Ft. Lauderdale last week.  She earned an A+ in math by dividing the $30 million Trump took from the NRA by the number of gun victims in 2018 alone and told us the price of a human life in the USA:  $5,800.   When you're eighteen, you don't accept the lies about other people's "rights" and about how it's never the right time.  You call "BS" and she did.

There were many great contenders this month, including her mordantly funny classmate Sarah Chadwick, who tweeted:  "We should change the name of AR-15s to 'Marco Rubio' because they are so easy to buy."  But Emma Gonzalez has earned the title Nasty Woman of the Month.
