Two things have finally pushed me to start blogging again. The first is the terror in Boston and my prayers go to the victims. The second issue is the failure of even the most watered down gun control measure to pass the senate.
Boston: Thanks to the tireless work of the police, ATF and FBI those responsible have been found. But beyond the tragedy of those who lost their lives or a limb, I think of the chronic pain, rehabilitation and PTSD that will follow for those who survive with limbs intact. I have seen minor trauma cause long term chronic pain and the long term need for pain meds, gabapentin, counseling, depression meds and terrible frustration. I can only guess how the long term affects of this will reverberate through Boston. Clearly our hearts are with Boston and the medical care is some of the best in the country - so God bless.
Gun Control: There is not much to say except that I hope we throw every single senator that voted against this out of office. Including the democrats. This is lunacy. I will chip in dollars to Bloomberg and Gifford but I think it is important for those of us who care to find out the names of every senator and support their opponents. more to follow on these subjects
