The blogging community is holding a day or remembrance today, to honor the memories of the 28 people who died in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday.
These gestures help us cope with heinous tragedies such as this one, and the one that took place on Sept. 11, 2001.
Days of remembrance are not empty gestures for most of us. They honor those who died, and they give us an opportunity to do something.
There's not much I can say that has not been said already.
Except this:
Do something, America. We've been talking about gun control since I was 12 years old. Nothing of substance has occurred, except one death after another.
If we don't do something, people will continue to die at the hands of Lee Harvey Oswalds, Sirhan B Sirhans, James Earl Rays, Dylan Klebolds and Adam Lanzas.
I don't have the answers. But there are answers.
We need to find them.

This echoes a lot of what the President said Sunday and what I have been saying...we have to at least TRY, don't we?
Yes, we do!
Thanks for posting, Betty. Hope all is well in Rodez.

Yes, we need to hold our elected official's feet to the fire. The NRA lobby has had too much influence over the years in MHO. Write to your Congressman. Merry Christmas Mimi.
It's heartbreaking. I'm reading this two months after your post. Nothing has happened. And it won't.
Are you OK? I was happy to see your blog return. I've been reading for a long time and hope all is well.
