You may or may not know that you outed yourself. Was it worth it?

There is at least one person very close to you who has been sexually assaulted. 

This person agonized over the decision to report the assailant knowing that if they do, they will be disbelieved and possibly ridiculed.  They know that even if they endure all of that, they will probably watch their assailant go free or get little more than a slap on the wrist. 

This person saw your posts disparaging the #MeToo movement as a “progressive smear campaign orchestrated by losers on the left who are frustrated over the results of the last election” or something to that effect. 

Remembering when TV was more real than reality

I don't care about Roseanne Barr's politics.  I knew she was a flake before that crotch grabbing and spitting rendition of the National Anthem 28 years ago.  I didn't care about her politics when she was a raving liberal and I still don't care now.  I watched and really liked the Roseanne reboot.   I wish we could leave it at that.

Every single time there is a mass shooting, the stalling tactics of the interest groups come out in full force, and exhibit A is embedded below.  There is no exhibit B as these are the same tired old tropes that have been used for the last 20 years.  I can save you 5 minutes and 43 seconds by summarizing:

2. We're a violent culture.  Video games and movies have desensitized our kids to violence, and the games have become more realistic.  One game awards extra points for "finishing off" your opponent.
3. We need to have a dialogue about it, but those who think restricting access to firearms need to "get a new idea."  
4. Those who think otherwise don't realize that just as much carnage can be brought on with other things like cars.
