Also society conveniently DOESN’T talk about the real aftermath from murder/gun violence.

hang on. i have some candidates that have to pass my impossible purity test.

While I hate Trump this problem was before him and has more to do with the NRA, GOP, & brainwashed idiots that think they have the right to any gun ever created.  I can’t imagine how hopeless it must seem to lose a child, watch others continue to lose their children & know that no matter what you try to do to change…

Maybe we should have let Darwin sort out Texas. After that Florida. Most problems solved. 

There’s a reason they call that area “Cancer Alley”. From the Huston ship channel that area at night always reminded me of the opening scene of Blade Runner...

Hello, editor here. The ppm/ppb discrepancy was completely my fault and the consequence of attempting to edit after three hours of coaching college kids on science writing without sufficient caffeine. It has been fixed.
