Empty Joy Sassoon Negative Tone Towards War Soldiers
1,053 words
During a war people do not understand the pain,

lucky) deformed and mentally traumatized, that the

Guns dont kill people, people kill people. It has
been said millions of times by too many people to
quote. For almost as long as guns have been around
gun control has been a major issue throughout the

with psychological problems who takes LSD will
most likely have those problems magnified when
under the influence of the drug. However,
psychologically healthy people who are
