What's on My Mind

Well after the events of Boston this last weekend I have been thinking alot about our country and the state of chaos we are all in. We all take for granted the freedoms we have, almost to the point we think freedom is owed to us. It is indeed the same freedom so many have paid for with thier lives. We ship are troops over seas to Iraq to fight the terrorist, but indeed the attacks on us have been right here in lady liberty's back yard. The war on drugs has been ongoing since the 80's but we still can't seem to stop the hundred's of thousands of pounds of drugs from entering our country each year. Our foster care system, as a direct result of the drug problem in America, is overwhelmed. Children still slide through the cracks, remaining abused and molested, right here in our country, while our movie stars and idols adopt from another countries. We have stripped lady liberty from her clothing, ripping the moral fabric that makes family. Not long ago TV parents had seperate beds on screen, but now it's not uncommon to see people engaged in sex on TV. How can we as a country teach our children to be leaders when we have allowed so much filth in their brains and fueled their bodies with happy meals. We have a new era on the rise of muderous children as well. I watched the tiny faces of Sandy Hook on my TV and cried. I couldn't help but see my own daughter in the face of all those little kids and my heart shattered. I asked God why? Why ? What happened to that kid that he would kill his mother then all those little kids. Truth is there is no specific answer, but many small answers. I am so saddened that these terrible things happen. I hope instead of everyone screaming we are FREE to be vulger, FREE to own guns, FREE for this and that, that some one realizes our forefathers intended for us to be free to be safe, to own guns to protect our families and feed them, they gave us freedom of speech not so we could hurl obscenities publicly, but so we could express concerns and opinions openly, they gave us assistance not so generations could live off the government but so families could get on thier feet. I guess that's my rant for the day.
