We are all shocked and sickened by the recent shootings in Nevada and Texas, as we should be. But, the problem occurs daily through out the country on a smaller scale, but no less tragic.
A couple in Illinois starved a six year old boy to death as punishment. He weighed 17 pounds. An illegal immigrant in East Texas was arrested for beating a six month old boy in the face with her fist. She was baby sitting the boy. And, every year there are thousands of children sold into sex slavery.
It is time to stop and look around your neighborhood, your city and your state to see the atrocities that happen everyday. These so often go unnoticed except by a local few.
Collectively the horrors not mentioned on national news exceed all those that are by thousands or more.
Again, I quote Pogo: "We have seen the enemy and he is us."
Clean up your own house first before you try to tell others what needs to be done.
