I sympathize with your concerns and observations.

The Order of Canada. ....... Sad. When I hear things like that I just
get a very helpless feeling.

Here,  statistically, in most of the states have the least restrictive
firearms laws, the lower the crime. I never hear that in the news

Oh well.

It seems that the sheep ..... ummmm .. I mean meek, actually HAVE
inherited the earth. Unfortunately they'll destroy it in the process.
