Getting back to my “daily” entry – stop laughing back there! – of a critique of pictures from a toxic email from a conservative friend – he only passed it on – here’s the next entry:
Unfortunately for the good Senator, the world is full of idiots and – I fall into this category – clumsies.
But it’s the missing context that’s important here, for Senator Kennedy recently opined as to the legislation he’s most proud of … being the 2017 Tax Reform bill that has greatly inflated the Federal deficit. (If I find a link, I’ll update this email. It’s escaping me at the moment.)
He may have attended Oxford in England, but it’s not at all clear he understands what makes for good legislation, or good reasoning.
So this part of the toxic email is dangerous because it promotes dangerous illusions concerning gun control with a cute little slogan.
And in our current spate of murders, enabled by our failure to implement gun control, as well as the deflation of police morale, this is not an acceptable message to be sending.
