The recriminations and the unending blame game over the murder of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk continue to reverberate across the nation in a way that the ongoing murder of children in school shootings doesn't. It's profoundly depressing that the murder of a hateful character like Mr Kirk - while deplorable - gets more attention from Der Furor and his conservative supporters than does the death of innocent children, but that's where we are.
My friend Allen suggested this song by Cheryl Wheeler, "If It Were Up to Me," as a Musical Sunday offering appropriate to the moment ...
I can't argue with that.
Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Bulletproof clothing for your children is always a thoughtful birthday or Christmas gift.
More thoughts coming.

A very apropos song... can't believe it was published in 1997?

With all the cuts in spending, we can only afford to offer thoughts OR prayers but not both anymore..
I just saw this the other day. I looked up Cheryl Wheeler. She's old like us.
Just the fact that this was written in 1997 and is still - if not more - relevant, proves the need to take away the guns.
