21. The Ones Who Survive Have Lost Their Childhood,Abruptly

and in a way they will always remember. The fifties were a tame time with speeding was the most lethal form of injury and death(outside of disease). In the sixties schools were safe and only the hell of Viet Nam stole the lives of many and the horror continued for those at home. But now where is anyone safe? Children should be able to go to school without fear. They should not have to wear bullet proof blankets when some loon barges in with a gun in his hand and hate on the lips. Days such as graduation should not be marred by acts of violence. Our children are losing their innocence is ways todays parents and grandparents never dreamed of. It is our nightmare and we must find a way to stop it.
