[quote=Anonymous]We can all wring our hands as much as we want. Nothing is going to change. It's just part of mainstream American male culture. We will be seeing this our whole lives, and our children will too. I have zero hope anything is going to change. Even in states with stricter gun laws, like Maryland, it is easy enough to get one if you really want to. For example, a high school student in moco had a ghost gun a few months ago that he threatened someone with - he ordered the parts off the internet. All the real power is with the NRA.

Additionally, we will have our reproductive rights curtailed slowly, no matter how much we protest. The restricting of congressional seats has made our power to control the courts very limited. All the real power is with the Republican Christian right.

Finally, health care costs will continue to rise, astronomically. We don't want to finance anything like single payer, and we allow pharmas and health insurance companies and physicians (yes, I said it! As I am one) to always make sure they get paid very high salaries (despite these fields not making nearly as much money in other western nations). All the real power is with Pharma and the AMA.

Basically feeling very hopeless and really hoping my kids get into college outside of this country. [/quote]
