Oh, absolutely. I’m with you on this.

When I said that violence is one of the primary ways we relate to each other in the United States, I wasn’t just talking about pulling triggers.

I was talking about ALL the ways we relate to each other — the cruel systems we architect to construct our shared society being chief among them.

We LIVE WITHIN a killing machine.
