1) In today’s headlines:

“Gunman opens fire, wounds 3 at Texas spring break beach destination.”

“Four people were shot and wounded in downtown Austin, Texas, early Sunday as the city hosts the annual South by Southwest festival ….”

I do not mean to pick on Texas, but another headline reads:

“Texas mass shootings jump 65% this year as violence continues.”

The “right to bear arms” has turned our Country into a slaughter-pen. Not only are criminals and virtual criminals armed to the teeth, but all sorts of mentally and emotionally unstable people can buy or easily get their hands on guns. 

Is America ridiculous or pathetic?

2) Who, I wonder, is Kanye West? And what do people find interesting in a low-life like him? He is all over the online news today because of his running quarrels with various people that seem to arise from his treatment of his ex, Kim Kardashian. Poor Kim! I guess the old “Lie down with a dog, get up with a flea” applies. But why clutter up the media with this sordid and silly business? Oh, this is what people find interesting.
