Christian Friedrich Henrici wrote many of Bach’s secular songs, among them the Coffee Cantata (BWV 211):
Ay! How sweet coffee tastes
A thousand kisses would not be so fine,
It is milder than muscat wine.
I must have coffee, coffee;
And if you wish to give me cheer,
Well, then, bring a coffee here!

As of June 2, there were 244 mass shootings in the U.S. this year. That's one to two per day. The place and time of the next of these horrific acts is unknown, but that one will happen is a certainty. Then another, and another. One consequence of the number of mass shootings in the U.S. is that we possess data related to the crimes, which show a correlation between mass shooters and domestic violence.
