None of it makes sense. Sometimes I rub my eyes to see it this surreal news went away! Oh, well. Time to make even more of a difference!

Makes no sense. But, it's very true. So, we ponder and learn, and work towards change one moment at a time.

I always hold hope in my heart. I believe President Obama genuinely wanted the best for our country when he was first elected, but like every other president the special interest groups are difficult to go around. The NRA is a mighty powerful one to avoid, thus our problem. Or at least part of the problem.

Here's to us all speaking out against guns and violence. Here's to making a difference in our world.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.

I think a lot of politicians go into public service because they want to change things, but they realize too late that they really have no power. Not that I want them to give up. I honestly believe good will win out over evil. I'm just afraid I won't see it in my life time.

That was a Kleenex comment. Thank you for making me feel so special today. I deeply appreciate it.

We all face adversity. What I want in this crazy world is for us to help each other. Honestly, with compassion and a full heart. It'd sure make a better world. <3

And I will say this again and again--when life hands you a lemon, you wake up, you look at the reality around you and you think--not just ME, but others!! That's how your mind works. Blessings on you.

Guns and women's health are issues ALL women should look for in the next campaign. Here's a virtual high five to making a difference.

You never know (as you know) when you stare at the blank screen that what you write will not only be cathartic but will make a difference to someone else. THANK YOU for sharing your thoughts, Beth. Yup. Women should run things. Our world would make much more sense...

I swear if more women could run the world we would be in so much better shape. Love Michelle Obama and all of her campaigns. Don't understand a women from Oregon who even when her son had to hide under a desk insists that having everyone in the classroom armed is the solution. INSANE INSANITY. Keep writing and reminding us. You made my day.

Looking back at the ant-war movement, etc. when people demonstrated visibly, instead of pushing a "send" or "share" button, and actually had an impact. I'm with you on the need for change, but frustrated at how quickly and easily the issues get muddied and still nothing happens. If Newtown couldn't shake things up enough to change laws and make us stop putting up with the rhetoric, I just don't know what will. Frustrating and sad. Next election, and all future elections, will hinge on issues of gun laws and womens' health. Enough!

I wonder if we could ever change that Antoinette? Hmm..
