and tomorrow?

One wonders where these pay-offs will all lead.

They may appease the victims, but the structure that produced and nurtured the problem hasn't really changed, has it? Cutting off the top of a weed doesn't make your garden much better. You need to pull weeds. You need to plan your garden and make wise choices. You need to be attentive. You supposed shepherds of flocks. Talk to me again when you've put down your drinks, and your wallets and your forks and your keys. I'm having a tough time hearing you over the din of your recreations.

Do your targets flinch when you breech your bow? Such delicious symbolism, and that last line? The knockout punch. I would find it rather unpleasant to be on your hit list.
