Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Yesterday, when I was in Target, it crossed my mind that a gunman would have an easy time mowing down a lot of people of color, children, innocents buying food, and as the lady in front of me, obviously a teacher, school supplies for students.  And then we had two shootings in El Paso and Ohio.  This is crazy.  Our Congress seems to have no interest in protecting us.  Maybe we need to stop going to stores until the coast is clear.  Order everything online and let the businesses take action.  Amazon would be very happy.  They've been hoping we'd cocoon ourselves, drug ourselves, slap our faces in front of screens nonstop.  Then we'd be perfectly isolated from our communities, our families even.  Under siege.  We need to speak up, financially support gun control, vote against anyone who doesn't have a record of protecting our lives.  Otherwise, we're in foxholes in a third world country; our own.
