America's Moment of Reflection
There's a serious problem in our society when people care more about a store bargain and personal gain than they do human life.
I read my colleague Jeremy's Black Friday post, and I have to agree. A great deal of our priorities at times can seem to be misdirected. This was truly a tragic week for the many men and women involved in the tragedy in Mumbai. No one woke up that morning thinking they would be subject to such a horrific and tragic event. The tragedy in Mumbai is a harsh reminder of the brutal reality that exists in the world today.
Looking here at home and reading Jeremy's post, I was shocked to hear about the incident occurring in New York. Seriously, what big screen TV or electric shaver was so important at 5 a.m. that an innocent bystander had to die? I mean you really have to question the integrity of our human spirit at times like this.
I'm really frustrated at the thought of where our country and its people are going if we're truly at this point of disregard of human life. It makes me question whether or not we've lost our sense of morality and judgment.
