.... after Newtown I was supposed to go deer hunting that weekend. I could
not even get my shotgun out of it's case let alone load it ...... If you are not
willing to make any kind of changes after that slaughter then you have no heart.

As a Dad my heart aches for those families. The simple joy of having a little one
crawl into your lap is one of the greatest gifts a person can have .... those poor
people and friends of Newton will never have a good day again.
