Yes. More reliable food supply. More varied sources of food and other

Do you think the laborers building the pyramids had an easier life? That's

I'm guessing the inner cities are not "Trump Country" and that's where most
of the "gun-toting" and killing thugs reside. But carry on, don't let

That may have changed, of course. Some cities, such as St. Louis, do have a lot

Some cities... like St. Louis? How about Chicago, New Orleans, New York,
Baltimore, Los Angeles, Portland, Atlanta? Every week in Chicago death toll
from thug violence results in multiple deaths.

When they gather these "gun violence" statistics, they include suicide and
accidental shooting deaths. Not quite the same thing as thugs killing each
other, or innocent bystanders or victims.

It puzzles me why you dudes think the manner of gun deaths is important.

I think when someone is shooting AT YOU instead of at themselves, it's
completely different. If someone is determined to kill them self, they're
probably going to get it done. That's a tragedy. But when someone chooses
to kill an innocent person, that's a crime and is reprehensible.

So, yeah, I look at them differently. Don't you?
