My thoughts go out to the
victims of the Boston tragedy and the event that took place in
Texas. Looks like one of the bombers in Boston is dead and the other
is on the run. I've listened to so much news that I'm going into
overload. The media is desperate to find any angle they can on the
two men who committed the crime, which is their job.
Whenever something like this
happens, people spend an enormous amount of time wondering why the
attacker(s) did what they did. I understand that the need to know
these answers is great for those who need closure. I sincerely hope
that understanding doesn't breed a desire to reform someone who has
done such a dastardly deed. People like that need to pay, pure and
simple. And I don't mean languishing in a prison for the rest of
their lives with my tax dollars feeding, clothing, and providing
them with cable tv.
The event in Boston is not a
reason to overreact and call for more security that will infringe
upon the rights of citizen. People need to understand that there is
only so much that can be done in this dangerous world without
turning us into a police state where our every movement is watched,
and our rights gone. If you can't understand that the world is
treacherous and that there's a risk in going out into it, then stay
home where it's safe.
A word about my book. I pulled
it from sales outlets such as Amazon to do some much-needed editing.
It will be back up soon.
