In a nation that has decided not to regulate mass-market WMD inside its own borders, posts like this "normalcy" article are fact. The nation has indeed traded safety from WMD for genuflecting "Thoughts and Prayers". What a deadly trade-off for our irresponsible nation. Due to this Faustian bargain, each of us increases the chances of being extinguished in random deaths by our own citizens. We've become a population of "Stupid is as Stupid Does".
