I came across your blog...I'm from Newtown, CT. I came across your blog on my journey to I don't even know where. <br />I've spent the last year searching and searching for the truth. <br />The observation you made above is one of the very few bits of wisdom I've been able to find in the vast wasteland of intellectual liberalism and blindly conservative politicking that has become the national discussion since that day in the Hook. <br />The reality of this day, more than a year after you shared the burden borne by your mind's eye, is that people have been duped. Not by conspiracy, not by partisan politics, but by themselves. America, Newtown in particular, has allowed this tragedy to become a pulpit of empty love. 'Love Wins', is the mantra that Newtown has adopted, while in the same breathe, accepting obscene amounts of money meant to 'heal' the community that suffered zero monetary loss to this violence. 'Love Wins', they say, as they accept a 50M$ check from the state of CT, while their neighbors in Bridgeport, Waterbury and New Britain have to go without school funding per state austerity measures. 'Love Wins' as they demand the town pull eminent-domain to procure the property of lifelong Newtown residents for driveway of their brand new Sandy Hook School. 'Love Wins' as they use this incident to push the political agenda of the president, while screaming rape at those who respond with opposition. <br />'Love Wins'. <br />Thank you again for your perspective and your thoughts have left me wishing only for the ability to somehow offer a part of my own memory to unburden part of yours. We know that those flashbacks are yours and yours alone, and that is why you are a hero...I also imagine that you'd never admit to that, but you are.<br />Nobody Wins. When children die, Nobody Wins.Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083892557292848196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903369978904506414.post-54018442834979018982013-01-17T00:24:25.418-06:002013-01-17T00:24:25.418-06:00To a family member the death of a child in war mus...To a family member the death of a child in war must seem just as senseless as the loss of the kids at Sandy Hook was. Thanks for remembering those children who fall into the "collateral damage" column. They and their families deserve the respect of being remembered at the very least.davidhttp://ableveterans.org/noreply@blogger.com
