How awful. I know a lot of people will disagree with me but I think we are horribly desensitized. Through generations we spent time with our families talking perhaps talking over cards or work. Even working on fencing and odd farm chores we would talk. Now we rarely see each other. If I heard of just one of the horrible things that have happened just in this single day I would have probably thrown-up on the spot.
We have TV, movies, video games, Fox news, CNN, and mounds more media influencing our daily thoughts. We see killings, more killing, we are saturated with killing. How can kids possibly see how wonderful, fragile, and sweet life is with this over exposure to blood, aggression, hate, and violence?
Not just kids are affected by all this desensitizing, we are affected if we want to believe it or not. I never use to get really angry. Just political messages make me so angry at times I feel briefly the need for retribution.
No animal deserves such cruelty.
