Newtown, CT

My thoughts are with all the families affected by yesterday's horrible events.  I  love a child I don't even know on the other side of the planet, so I can't imagine the gravity of all the loss in Newtown.  We will never make sense of this or other such acts, but we can make meaning of the lives lost--some just five years old-- by not allowing any more angry, deranged young men access to killing machines. There will always be evil people in our society, so let's make it as difficult as we can to put weapons, both legal and trafficked, in their hands.  Because if people could only commit mass murder with a utility knife, they wouldn't.
