When any Kardashian shows up on the national news, that is not a news broadcast any longer. In the past couple of years, I've turned to the net for news: CNN and MSNBC of course, but also Reddit and al-Jazeera and BBC and NPR. I get the outline of the story and then I stop. Because it's pretty depressing.<br /><br />We need to be kinder to each other, not just here in the States but everywhere. Whether you're kind to others because "God says" or because it's the way you were raised, I don't care. Just be nice. And stand up for the downtrodden.Cat.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16596358921357615801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27448101.post-3096321354974361992014-08-23T10:28:34.488-05:002014-08-23T10:28:34.488-05:00I'm with you--the situations sadden me.I'm with you--the situations sadden me.Kwizgiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02030855903021576354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27448101.post-42933478113988693042014-08-22T22:05:50.328-05:002014-08-22T22:05:50.328-05:00I don't think people like that racist lady you...I don't think people like that racist lady you mentioned actually get anything valuable out of church services anyway. They are too busy thinking about how righteous they are. <br />I think what people need is better morals... realizing that you don't shoot people who irritate you, and you don't create destruction and chaos in order to get a point across. Whether people learn these morals from church, from their families, from school, from AA meetings, or whatever, doesn't matter... as long as they figure out somewhere that there is almost never a good reason for violence.

When I read about gun violence in Chicago and hear Right Wing Nut Jobs say what we need here is more guns I want to scream! And, of course, ask if they have ever been to south side and of course they haven't.<br /><br />I agree that we each need prayer but not that the country does. Because I trust that the forefathers knew what they were doing when they came up with the separation of Church and State. And look what's happening with ISIS, what's happening in Gaza. What people can do in the name of their religion is chilling. We're better than that.
