PMT: Back from the woods
So, for the past ten days or so, I have been away from the news and the internet at remote Osler Island. It is always a shock to come back, so I'll need a few days to adjust.
One thing that is hard about re-adjusting is that you get ten days of news all at once. It can be a little overwhelming.
This time, of course, what I learned about was the shootings last weekend.
The familiarity of this is depressing. The inaction in response to these tragedies is reprehensible. The solutions are hard and probably partial (as I have discussed here before). Yet, we need to move toward solutions to those problems measured in lives lost.
We have an epidemic of terrorism that must be addressed.
