MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY

 Update on Maggie. She is tolerating her chemo so far. Pray she will continue. She has 5 more treatments and I hope it puts the stage 3 cancer on the run and we can share more times together. 
During Trump inaguration I took this photo of the Capitol on TV. The reason I am posting this is because WE AS A NATION CANNOT LEGISLATE COMMON SENSE, DECENCY, NOR CULTURE. Stop and think if you are old enough that guns were never a problem in schools until the last few years. Heck you could bring a gun to school to go hunting or take it with you after you had hunted in the morning and NO one was shot. Also, some school had shooting classes and how to take care of your gun. WHAT HAS CHANGED is not the gun but the culture. No matter how many gun laws you have, evil people will kill. Until we address the root cause, you could ban all guns and the evil ones would still find a way to KILL.  So here is my take on gun laws. Have just one. If you kill someone, immediate death pentlity. If you commit a crime with a gun, again give them the death pentlity. Why? Becuase if a gun is used in a crime they intended to kill you. Gang members should be rounded up and shipped to the front of the lines of engagements of war. If they dessert, death. I figure since the violent gun crimes are being blamed on the Capitol and the NRA, and the gun, why not pass a law that has teeth and since those who comment the crime care so little about others lives then they should forfeit theirs. Those teenagers in Parkland are ralling againist the NRA. Fact the kids are into a knee jerk reaction but  the NRA has killed 0 people, nor has it used any tax payers money, however, this cannot be said about Planned Parenthood, who uses tax payers money to kill millions. But someone has to be the BLAME AND NOT THEM AND THEIR SOCIETY.

 My MIL at age 5 who is now 98 soon to be 99. She could ride the interurban from Gallatin to downtown Nashville by herself when she was little and go to her Uncles office and he would give her some money and off she would go to the 5 and dime to shop BY HERSELF. Now children cannot play outside without an adult watching them. Growing up in rural Smith County, my family did not even lock our doors. Kids could go all over the community without fear of being hurt or taken. While my MIL and I are from differnet generations neither had to worry about school shootings. So what is different you ask. Look at the cultures and you will see why. Manners and respect were very promment in those times but not NOW.  
I took this photo of a barn in Brentwood as we were riding down the road. It reminds me of just how fast life is passing by and people forget to be gratful for the time they have each day. The Kitty Justice is NOT to complain but be gratful for what you have today. And remember all you will take with you is your memories so why do you care so much about STUFF? also true Tennessean hate the fact that Nashville is the It city. Our town has been invaded just like the North did the South. Each morning when the news comes on, there are so so many shootings and deaths talked about in our town. This did not happen before we were invaded . I may sound unhospitible but but our town and state was fine before the Invaders came pouring in the city. Maybe I should put up a billboard GLAD YOU COME. NOW GO HOME!!!!!!

Very good post!!
I totally agree with your view of blaming culture or, shall we say, lack of culture for the evil in our society. Banning guns will not solve the problem. There are knives and rocks, as we israelis well know. However, I'm for introducing tough regulations about carrying guns.It'll be a sensible, responsible act.

Glad about the news on Maggie's condition.
I agree with you and it is a sad state of affairs.

Thank you.We have a big problem with teenagers and twelve year olds trying to rob and car jack. A lady in downtown was waiting for to pick up her daughter after dance class and a 12 year old tapped on her window with a gun to rob and take her car. She was able to speed off and he was caught. I cannot imagine at 12 doing such a thing as I was still being a kid and enjoying childhood. We cannot stop guns in any sensible way. Why? They are already out there and the 12 year's old gun he used was stolen from a smash and rob gun store. Evil will always find a way to have guns even if all guns are banned. Peace

The more that comes out about the Parkland schooling the more I shake my head. The armed guard was outside building 12 and he did not go in to stop the shooter. Now he has lost his job and reputation. More and more facts will show other things that could have been done. Most parents and students live in a fantasy world that it will never happen at their school. We as parents should be more villgial of children protection. If my child was in school I would volunteer to guard his school to keep him and the others safe. But when you do that you have to be willing to give up your life to save the children. I do not think we have enough people like that to guard our schools. Peace and I hope your cowboy is still doing fine.
