There are monsters among us. Only the most egregious cases percolate into the consciousness of most Americans.

But the toll is by the day, the hour, the minute, the second.

Some people seem to suffer so much, for no reason.

I remember earlier, posting about a sheriff, who had to drive to the fatal car accident scenes of two sons.

Perhaps I'm becoming more and more sentimental, but this scene really disturbs me. For somebody serving the community to come upon something this horrific, to have to help his infant and his four year old. His suffering is unjust IMHO.

Ha, good thing you weren't born in the past.

As terrible as things are, life in the USA is about as just as probably there has ever existed.

If you don't like suffering and death, don't sign up for life.

There has been a lot of injustice, probably always will be. Doesn't mean I have to like the injustice. And if injustice ever fails to move me, I am lost.
