I do too. And I will maintain until my dying day that if we had ever chosen to die on the hill that innocent, beautiful children are being ripped to bloody shreds upon, God may have granted us a modicum of mercy.
But we haven't. And He won't.
This isn't a throwaway "social issue" or barter tool in some political horse-trading session. This is the ball game. The entire essence of our existence. Stand for life or you stand for nothing.
I like you, Laz. But you're missing the big picture on this one. We needed to stand our ground for these kids. We failed them once again. And we're running out of time to try to make this right.
You make a damned good point.
