Last One....

.....about sad stuff until after Thanksgiving.  I wanted to take a news break yesterday, but as I was talking on the phone with my best friend, she said, "What?  Another shooting?!"  Alas, in my own city, another man with a gun kills three innocent people.  Men/women/children + guns = death.  Period.  There is no other equation.  And all the numbers for gun violence and hate crimes are up since the orange f*ckwad took office, so....hmmmm....what does that tell you?  A lot of angry people whose only way to show it is to shoot other people?  A tearful Mayor Emanuel in a beautiful speech addressed reporters last night, along with the chief of police.  But no mention of gun control or what we're going to do to stop the madness.  Can we?  Is it too late?  Have we spiraled out of control and now the maniacs are at the helm and winning?  NO!  I refuse to believe it!  We have to be better than this!  We need leaders who will take control and seize the guns and make an amendment to the Constitution changing the Second Amendment and help us move forward, not backward, as a species.  We can't be killing each other.  This is insane.  It's time for everyone to stand up and say ENOUGH!

Ugh, I can't end on that note.  Here's a little beauty to warm your heart and put a :-) on your face.  And don't forget to say I love you to those you love and hold them near and dear.  Life is precious and oh, so short.  Peace be with you.
