Indeed! I'm in Belize, and the toucan is the national bird, so I'm totally protected!
The gun situation in the US is very concerning. Of course some of them are just morons, but there are others who genuinely fear the immense power of the US government. I maintain that there are few other militarys that could take on the US military. Some citizen militia guerilla thing would have basically zero chance. The US government is definitely headed in a dark direction, but I don't think guns are a reasonable way to go about changing that. It has rarely worked out well in the past - at least long term.
Anyway, I absolutely agree about young people. I totally think they are amazing and creating changes long needed. Most of them are very woke. I only understand their despondence when they look at the daunting tasks they are facing and a lot of grown ups who are just not caring. All my teenage children's friends are just delightful and beautiful people. I think my almost 20 yo is almost out of the existential dread, and I am surely glad to see that end.
