When I came to Washington a few weeks ago, the top story on the local news the day we arrived was a nine-year-old girl in a poor neighborhood in DC who was sitting on her sofa watching TV. A stray bullet from a neighborhood shooting came through the window and killed her.

No one noticed outside the local scene. Where is the outrage? "Ordinary" tragedies are totally ignored now.

Any claim that America has deep-seated, consistent principles about the value of human life is absurd, and easily controverted by the evidence.

I don't see any presidential candidate running on the "no child shot at home" platform. Why?
