Opening VUE
Our hearts go out to all the people hurt during the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon. My wife and I hurt for those with young that were killed. But the loss of limbs among many of the people will be a source of suffering for them for many years. As leaders of the Red Cross in our area, we know of human sufferings during floods, tornadoes and fires. We can only imagine physical and emotional suffering these people will have.
Some of the worlds best people were hurt and for what purpose?
Life will continue, and we as a nation will turn our attention again to the problems of day to day living. These events serve only to show that we live in a very dangerous and chaotic world. The citizens of the USA (and those that visit big events) will not be protected by gun laws. The bad guys (including street gangs and drug cartels) can always get explosives and guns.
As you all know, yesterday was a huge down day on Wall Street and it was even a bigger loser in Gold and Silver. The drops were happening well before the explosions.
Other than that, I would prefer that the USA would bow its head and take a break to remember that our families, our loved ones and our fellow citizens are important to us. If you are religious, say a prayer, and include in that prayer, that our government will preserve liberty even in the face of these horrible events.
