On our final day in Japan yesterday, we saw a Christmas fair in Ueno Park in Tokyo with all sorts of Christmas related stalls. The best by far was this one, selling (rein)deer skins.

RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.
