Alan: My sister Janet who taught at Rochester, New York's most impoverished inner city school for 33 years -- and over that time regularly saw former students on the nightly news at one end (or the other) of a smoking gun -- is convinced that "Violence is a language problem." 

Without sufficient mastery of words to navigate conflict, once an aggrieved party utters "Fuck your mama!" a frequent reflex is to pick up a gun and shoot it.

Pence's refusal to talk with "enemies" is beyond bizarre.
"We'll negotiate if you first capitulate."
