I have nothing to do today so I am looking online a bunch. I read that Obama went to a Planned Parenthood gathering and praised them for their great work and promised that they would continue to receive our tax funding. That makes me sick! My tax dollars don't go to that, but it is sick that everyone is required to help out on the murder of children. My money goes to pay for the travel of my friends who work here in India at the Embassy or for the government. At least that is what I like to think. My money does not go toward murder. And that is what abortion is.
Then I read about how many rapes have happened in Delhi. So far, there have been about 400 this year. We will break the yearly records for sure. This will go down as the year of the most rapes in the capital. This week was the little 5 year old girl who was raped and tortured and left for dead, but who is now fighting for her life in a hospital.
Because of all the rapes, the number of women who are applying for gun ownership. Women feel that the police aren't going to help them so they need to help themselves. I think of America that wants to stop people from owning guns and I don't like that. I think people have a right to protect themselves if they feel they need to.
Then I read again the story of the Clackamas shooting last year and how the gunman was stopped because he saw someone pointing a gun at him. So he shot himself. At least that is what I think happened. I wonder how many others would have died if there wasn't the guy carrying a gun.
Sure there are crazy, sick, evil people out in the world. Some are applauded for what they do. Others get away with what they do. And some are stopped by a person who is in the right place at the right time. We need more heroes.

Good essay, Leslie. And something for all of us to think about. Dad.
