After the Horrors

The papers are full of the horrendous - quite probably racist mass murders After the horrors we Americans must try - try hard to keep up our usual activities Going to a baseball game I felt a little worried being a part of the crowd on the ferry Friday I plan to go to Sabbath services our prayers are needed in these dark days Sporting events, thank goodness, will be played as usual We must not give in to the forces of hate! Pick up your pens, poets! Denounce the divisive politics which now plague out nation We must stand together to chase away the dark clouds which now ennvelop our nation

These are indeed, Dark Days. Devastation and hate seem to be rampant. We must learn to examine our leaders carefully before we put them into office. We also must try to elect leaders with a great deal of foreign relations experience, who have been successes with it.

After the horrors we are a blame hunt for anyone but the killer. We need to stop flaming at the mouth like mad dogs, You know the Torah! Vengeance is MINe says the Lord. Panagiota Norway had a killing today Chicago has tons of killings, nobody cares, death has to be sensational?? Panagiota... The news has blood dripping out of their mouths...awful Politicians are cashing in on graves. Sick PR

It becomes more and more difficult to watch the news. I have stopped traveling to Europe because of the uncertainties of unrest, yet people abroad are now being warned to stay away from the U.S.. Gun laws have to change and restrictions need to be placed on automatic weapons like the one used in El Paso. Your message rings loud and true Matthew. Bravo! : )
