Summary

Other than the endless political banter, guns, and specifically school shootings have lead the headlines recently, and for good reason. My children are now being called the "Mass Shooting Generation," a term I wholeheartedly disagree with. Our use of language, much like our objectivity, has been utterly lost. We can continue to look for "light switch" solutions to these complex issues that did not arrive overnight, or we can, as a society, agree that there is a problem, and commit ourselves to the work needed to create an actual change. It all starts with remaining objective, and not giving in to our emotions.

Ladies and gentlemen, here we go episode number 37.

0:04.0

I'm going to do my best today to keep this episode to one topic and one topic only.

0:12.0

And I've actually struggled with being able to articulate my thoughts on this

in an efficient and effective manner or an extreme line manner that makes sense

0:54.0

Agree, disagree, whichever one it may be on that point.

1:00.0

Let's just all agree that it's okay to have differing opinions.

1:04.0

It doesn't mean you're a douchebag, it doesn't mean you're a bad person.

1:08.0

And it's okay to explore other people's beliefs and other people's ideas.

1:14.0

1:19.0

And maybe you'll learn something about yourself.

1:21.0

So I might say some things in this episode that you might not agree with.

1:27.0

I might say some things that you don't like.

And you're free to react however you want to.
