President Obama spoke very eloquently about the disgusting,senseless,horrific crime that took place in Newtown,CT yesterday, which ended the lives of twenty precious children and eight good adults.He said "These neighborhoods are our neighborhoods and these children are our children." We have make sure this cannot happen again. Twenty kids will never know what it means to have a best friend; they'll never know what it means fall in love. Forty parents won't get to see their babies go to school dances or graduate from college;they'll never kiss them good night again. As Americans we have to be willing to abide by any law that may spare people that inconceivable pain. We have to talk about mental-illness out loud and deal with its effects without shame.I have great admiration for the school teachers who protected and comforted their beloved students, and for the emergency response professionals who cared for people at this terrible scene. My heart is with our kin in Newtown. Hopefully, this is as bad as it gets. Hug your loved ones a little tighter this holiday.
