17. Yes, they are necessary.

Too many people ignoring them is why they keep happening again and again. I understand your pain. I feel it too. But I make myself look sometimes. Particularly when they're lying there dead because someone took my tax dollars and made it happen, and the ''elected leaders'' of this country tell us that they're sorry they killed some more children but that they're just protecting me and my way of life. And then they send some more tax money to the family of the dead children as if that makes everything right.

I owe them that much. To look at their bodies one last time, if for no other reason than to acknowledge their life. What little of it they got to have of it.

- I go piddle in my lettuce and herb garden after (can't do much else), and then I try to do something life reaffirming. And when I see my kids and grand-kids, I hug them a little tighter....

Take care..........
