A 6-month-old boy died after being left for hours in a hot car in Louisiana, authorities said.

The baby was found dead in the backseat by his parent at about 5:46 p.m. Tuesday, according to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.

When the parent went to pick up the baby from day care after work, they realized they forgot to drop him off at day care that morning, the sheriff’s office said.

    and we’re winning, slowly

    are you? lol

    for this the first time in human history, the average person has the tools in their pocket to organize on a massive scale. tired of conservative politics? show up en masse and dispose of the morons. tired of corporate overreach? bombs, terrified CEOs. we could make change happen in a heartbeat if we wanted to. the clock is ticking on climate change, but keep telling yourself you’re making ‘sLoW cHaNge’.

      Not to cite my own horn here but I did address exactly what you’re bringing up.

      Throughout history, populations have appeared unprepared for war because they did not want to fight that war. But time after time we see that a populace will retreat to violence as a solution when deprived of all other options.

      I should probably mention that I don’t really disagree with your point, I just think that in holding your understanding of this issue as some unique insight instead of acknowledging that this has ever been the tragic irony of a peaceful society makes you come across as something of an edgy cretin instead of a fairly insightful commenter talking on an important subject they’re passionate about. “All men are created equal”, while both trite and rather out of touch with our modern sensibilities, is still important as a concept. You and I aren’t special. I might have some largely unique insights about database structures you don’t share, and you no doubt have some aspects I have never fathomed, but we are both the homogenized result of countless little insights and facets that average out to a blend which is both totally unique and yet uniformly conforming. If you start thinking you’re special beyond the variation normal to that blend, then you’re going to quickly lose your understanding of what an actual ‘average person’ really is like.

      I hate to say it, but the way one presents their message is perhaps more important even than the actual content they’re trying to present. Depressing, really, but… there it is.

        well, unfortunately, cynicism has pretty much consumed me, so i kinda stopped caring about getting my message across a long time ago. i tried reasoning with conservatives until i realized how futile that was. then i tried reasoning with liberals about useless debate was until i realized how futile that was. i think i’m just here to yell at clouds now.
