Their insane conceit and disdain for others manifests itself in executing cowardly atrocities against innocents.<BR/><BR/>Personally I would forgo any mediation or attempts to cleanse their malleable vanquished souls and try to rehabilitate them...they made their decision and acted upon their fantasy. They are beyond redemption now.<BR/><BR/>Since they are above all else, cowards, it is hard to draw them out into the open to get a clear shot, so we must devise a way to lure them into the cold light of day. <BR/><BR/>It starts with the children, and educating and empowering them is the key to ending this madness. Life does NOT need to be a zero sum gain where someone needs to lose in order for another to advance. <BR/><BR/>We are all unique and hold special gifts that we should all be excited about sharing...it makes us even more fantastic.<BR/><BR/>What a sad species we are. Handicapped with an overdeveloped brain that cradles unlimited potential and yet we succumb to our primordial instincts; to take from others at any cost. <BR/>We should be way past this.<BR/><BR/>I am truly sorry that this is happening in your beautiful land.Romeo Morningwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826410608415260786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825130.post-24851573446880133302008-11-27T23:14:00.000+05:302008-11-27T23:14:00.000+05:30I wish you all the best the strength to prevail an...I wish you all the best <BR/>the strength to prevail and the wisdom to let the wounds heal, without forgetting –for only the memory can save us from repeating.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06611955404994410354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825130.post-55891777679233198762008-11-27T21:44:00.000+05:302008-11-27T21:44:00.000+05:30interesting post-since you have been following me ...interesting post-since you have been following me I felt somewhat obligated to let you know although my blog will stay up, emails will be the only way to get new info (poems) and my book site has been closed to invited viewers only. Im having a lot of trouble with the online community and just being honest here, my therapist has sugested that I just write offline and not blog anymore, ever. I can still visit others, but I will not read or respond to comments on any of my sites because I have a stalker who is really making my life a living hell. I would appreciate you taking this down after you read it as I don't have your email or I would have sent it there, or maybe I do and I am lazy. Mine is very obvious and centered on my blog up top. If you want to read the story sometime let me know and I can give access to your screenname on blogger. Unfortunetly I cannot even post a goodbye or anything on my blog because it has come to this point where I don't know if the next blogger that comes along is the stalker in disguise until it's too late and I am too sick of bothering. I just have to move on. I welcome any emails, those I can filter to some extent, but in an effort to save my marriage-this is the choice I have made. <BR/>Respectfully,<BR/>ChrisClockworkchrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889793842709699969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825130.post-80646856830163152172008-11-27T18:57:00.001+05:302008-11-27T18:57:00.001+05:30Take care, gautami.it's a sad day for Mumbai and I...Take care, gautami.<BR/><BR/>it's a sad day for Mumbai and India.dsnake1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724264906690080704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825130.post-38598541329539203772008-11-27T18:57:00.000+05:302008-11-27T18:57:00.000+05:30Yes - the world stands with you against this insan...Yes - the world stands with you against this insanity!
