I'm tired and not happy.

The Red Sox managed to throw the game away last night and the series is now tied 1-1. They travel to St. Louis today to play the next three games and the Red Sox need to win at least two of those games.

What is the difference between gun violence, knife violence and car violence?

There is no difference. It's all violence.

The tool used to conduct the violence is meaningless. Guns, knives and cars are incapable of having thoughts or emotions and as such cannot have violent thoughts or conduct violent acts. Only people are capable of conducting violent acts.

I would like the media in general to stop using the term "gun violence" and start calling it "human violence". By saying "human violence", people might eventually come to understand that there are some serious problems in our society and we are not addressing them.

We, as a society, need to stop blaming inanimate objects for our problems.
