Crickets don't kill people. Aussies do!
With an issue this sensitive and this polarizing, the tone of the message is as important as the content. "I went after guns..." is the worst possible headline the Times could have chosen. It's precisely the validation the Wayne LaPierres of the world need to turbocharge the paranoid POV of their constituents.
I agree with just about everything that Howard says. But the Times editorial staff threw what could have been three steps forward five steps backward.
The crickets was in reference to when someone makes a statement and I offer up an alternate viewpoint and then there is silence after that. ? Was it too sensible. No response?

I get it. Really. Just tell yourself it's because your point is inarguable. Supreme. Without peer. And in it's radiance, the rest of us are just unworthy.
