I have the Post app, and read it the other day. The tragedy heaped upon this latest tragedy is that the next dark red cloud hovers just over the horizon. 

I hate to say it, but images of those destroyed bodies need to be circulated within State Houses and the US Congress. If 4th graders are expected to witness the horror in person, then politicians should be required to have those horrific images seared into their minds. Then they may begin to understand just how meaningless their incessant blathering really is. 

With so many US Senators already over the age of 65, why don't enough of them just vote their conscience, retire, and recieve all those great federal benefits. Go write a book that nobody will want to read.  Do some gardening. Be useful.
