It still rips your guts out to witness it after 53 years.

But we have not made a lot of progress to address the issue over that time.

3. Nate has more bravery in his little finger

than the cowards in the Congress who kiss the NRA pinky ring. WHEN are we going to start standing up for our children and NOT THE NRA and gun humpers. It is unconscionable that gun violence is continuing at an ever escalating pace in our society. When will our children deserve to have their needs met and gun humpers have limits put on them. This is a tragedy that keeps occurring over and over. A 12 year old holding a bat says he "was going to go down fighting." Where are the adults that should be defending Nate and the hundreds of thousands of other children living in fear in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! We are way past "Enough is enough!"

I do not watch TV and only see it at the gym. Occasionally I am there when she is on and she is the ONLY one I ever watch.

This is not the first time she has reacted this way, or spoken this way... not at all...
Even the way she always interviews people and discusses events with others is wonderful. She is quiet, silent. She is still inside. She listens..... I always have the feeling she is a real human being doing something worthwhile...

Much too good for CNN...
