I think the devil doesn’t exist, but man has created him, he has created him in his own image and likeness.

No country on earth bleeds like the U.S. No nation so wealthy, so wired, and so watched has grown so numb to slaughter. Schools, malls, churches, cinemas — each new massacre arrives like bad weather. Flags lower, candles burn and then life resumes. Until the next mass shooting occurs.

Life, of course, never gets anyone’s entire attention. Death always remains interesting, pulls us, draws us.
