These are difficult times. Standing up for yourself in a country that runs on money & politics is almost impossible for the hard working middle class. But we must fight to stay on top of it. I don't know how best to do it, so I'll try the only way I know how....by spreading the word.

Omaha tragedy
I am saddened by the loss of loved ones in the Mall. They were impossibly innocent. What a tragedy. This young man was horribly ill. From the reports it seems that no one could get their heads around that. Isn't it always the case, that the mentally disturbed are ignored consistently, underserved repeatedly, and then disowned completely when they do something to strike back. Nebraska said it is their policy to sort of "step back" when a kid gets old enough to leave their system. But they stepped back and let him fall out into NOTHING. No parents to take him home, no safe house to turn to, no mentor or councelor to see him through it. He was still ill, apparent now, huh. We need to stop failing these kids. We need to own this one.
