Today I reflect on recent events, and a quote comes to mind, one that causes me to stop and hold back the tears..."A parent should never have to bury a child"...I don't where it was I first heard it, it's a quote I unfortunatly say often, to often...I remember whispering it to myself at my cousin Willie's funeral, ha killed himself...fresh out of high school and kills himself...but I digress...amny know of the past weeks events of which I speak, the senseless killing of innocence...what was once considered the last safe haven for children all over the world has become the final destination for the children, schools...from the United States, to Russia,(brings to mind another Sting song "Russians"), France all over, so you see it's not just here...not only are children dying where they should be safe, but in the streets, there's the obvious war zones, but aren't they all...I am so disgusted, that I can't even think of solutions, and those officials chosen by the people to work for us...remember a government of the people, by the people, for the people...show that they are just as bad...this does not go to party lines it goes to CRIMINAL lines...I'm tired of the left and right politicizing...but that's for another blog...back to the children...some those who we trust to educate, in turn dehumanize them...the French hostage taker, an ex-teacher, from Delaware to Washington state there are teachers who would prey on children...more and more are women, and punishment runs the gambit from hard time Mary Kay Letourneau, to a slap on the wrist, actually not even that Debra LaFave...whats left, robot teachers, home school...I don't know, until a solution comes around, I say a silent prayer, not only for my children, but the children of the world...comments welcome
