Sunny died at 20 years old. She had colic. She said goodbye to be at 1:37 in the morning with a nudge of her nose. She took three steps away from me and collapsed in death. The vet and I autopsied her to find out why. You and I will autopsy America to find out why?
It is more than a tragedy to have those sweet innocent children in Newtown CT murdered. It is a tragedy to have children anywhere in the world murdered. Murdered by guns, swords, bombs, land mines. Murdered by hunger or thirst or disease or injuries. Their souls murdered by oppression and racism and discrimination and poverty and lack of education and lack of freedom or opportunity. Anything that you and I would not want for our children, that we think would be brutal or unfair or unjust or cruel, we need to consider a tragedy of the same proportion as the slaying of innocent lambs in Connecticut.
America may be able to make huge steps forward in how it treats mentally ill youth that are prone to violence because of the tragedy at Newtown CT
America may be able to figure out a way to treat mentally ill adults who are prone to acts of violence.
Parts of our culture do a great deal of this damage. 95% of what we do every day we do without thinking about. It is what we do because of the culture we are raised in and live in.
Guns and violence. Is there any doubt that the unspeakable horrible violence and EVIL visited upon the children in the classrooms at
Sandy Hook elementary school was a reflection of what our entertainment industry provides us? Don’t we permit and watch that distorting and perverting entertainment in our homes through TV or the internet? In how many other ways does that “evil” culture infiltrate into our nation’s desired values and norms. Are we the enablers?

If we don't help a mentally troubled or mentally ill person, we or our society may have to pay a bigger price. In Newtown, it was a cost too huge, too unrepayable. What price would it have been worth to have prevented it?
We need to be our brothers and sisters' keepers. We need to make sure that all of our children here in the United States are safe.
What about the innocent little children overseas? Do their parents not feel the same anguish, horror, soul destruction, when their innocent children are slaughtered in a 100 different ways.
There are things we can do here and abroad. Let's learn them and then do them, for God's sake.
Obama quoted Jesus, "Suffer the little children to come unto me." The children are important to Jesus and to us. We must take care of them so that they have a good air healthful start.
Making peace includes creating just societies where everyone has a fair chance to develop himself or herself, to reach his or her own potential, to follow his or her dreams and passions to create good and life and joy.
We have been asleep at the switch. We have followed too long and too much the desires of our own hearts. Can't we get together to do good together. Our children make our civilization. Let's work on making our children safe. Make as many of the children as possible mentally healthy and work to improve the mental health of all those who became damaged either through DNA, their genetics, or through their environment, traumatic events in their lives.
If we make our own society more peaceful, won't we help to eliminate insane violence like Newtown? If we help to make other societies satisfy the needs of their people better, won't they be more 0ezeful, and less likely to strive for a war for whatever reason?
Learn to make peace through creating a just society here and helping our neighbors overseas create just societies for themselves. Peace consider joining PeaceHorse. Please consider starting your own PeaceWorld around you r interests and passions.
A little oil pastel portraying children skating at the recreational rink in Helena. Montana. Far. They are far away from the troubles of the nation and the world, usually. The cancer of violence spreads and begins to infect all of us.
