Around Town News - Russia

There has been so many events that I haven't had the time to write about. The topics that this blog focus on seem (correction ARE) so aloof in comparison to many devastating world events. I am deeply saddened to the horrid killings occuring in Russia. How can anyone overbear and seek to make a point by harming children? The innocence and well being of children should never be threatened. These kids are defenseless innocent beings that should have no part in these ridiculous terrorist acts. I always try to put myself in the other persons' point of view. I can understand that people want to be heard and taken seriously. However there is a line with trying to prove a point and sheer madness and cruelty. The massacre at the Russian school has no reasonable explanation.

What urks me more is the fact that our president makes no mention of these events and continues on his normal planned activities of self promotion. This goes for all politicians. I have always been a bit ticked off at the fact that an elected official doesn't continue with his job responsibilities, that he was elected to perform and instead travels around running for office. ALL of them do this, they decide they want a higher post and try to gain exposure by raising a campaign and STOP WORKING. George Bush campaigned for re-election, and makes no mention of the Russian Events.

What can he do anyway? Awareness alone is something. Sadly many Americans don't watch the news, but some do go out to these campaign rallies. Some do catch his speeches on TV. Let me know you are doing your job and what is going on in the world that affects us and humanity for that matter.
