STOP the madness!!

I am really, really ready for people to stop being so 'prickly'

about every little thing. Personally, I grew up in an America 

where we lived and encouraged each other. Where we were 

proud of our heritage and our country. Over the past two 

decades behavior has eroded and for some unfathomable 

reason everything must please everybody! How crazy is 

that? FEAR has a choke hold on our country, including its 

leaders. They act out of fear, legislate out of fear and deny 

normal everyday simple pleasures in fear it may offend 

someone else. STOP IT!!!!! Give each other more credit than 

you are doing. Tiny plastic army men no more represent the 

shooter at Sandy Hook than a toy fighter plane represents 

the destruction of our World Trade Center Towers. STOP 

feeding fear to our children. My guess is, if you had handed out 

those cupcakes and asked those third graders what they 

represented they would have said something like, "Well, it's 

Billy's birthday and he wants to be a soldier when he grows 

up." (i don't the childs name). Adults are acting like fools and 

poisoning the minds of our children. It has to STOP!
