Adults are fighting
Distracted, in slips the thief
Children are stolen

Seems I heard something about that happening, Lori. Anger clouds everything some times. WoW!

Yes it literally does.

You would never guess that I wrote that thinking that as a Country we can not afford to put all our focus on internal (riots, politics, etc.)unrest and then not see those that hate us coming to wreak havoc. It is disheartening to see "our children", be they American citizens turned Muslim extremists or Mall shooters, turn against their own.
Quite a stretch, huh?

Yes, it is quite a stretch, Lori. I originally gave you a mini rant but I deleted it and wrote this instead. I have only one thing to say, and I am not a religious man, God help America because we are sure not helping ourselves.

I appreciate the deletion. Thank you. There are a lot of good people out there doing amazing good things but all too often that gets ignored  or worse yet, stopped for politically provoked reasons and the almighty dollar. We, as a nation need to quit being so motivated by the sensational and stay true to the sensible. America is still a great country and we are better off than we were in many ways.
