I’m out of clever things to say about this list, or about anything else right now, as the obscenity of “Uvalde” worms its way into the American psyche.
Did our soldiers, sailors, and airmen sacrifice their lives for the 2nd Amendment “freedom” that has allowed an 18-year-old to slaughter children with a military-grade firearm? Is this, as Bill O’Reilly has it, the “price of that freedom?”
If you’re as disgusted as I am right now about the vile condition of American politics, maybe Maritime List 310 will help distract you.
