I may need to borrow your notes friend. I've got 3 boys, 8-5-3, and I'll be damned before I let them echo those hippie sentiments.This news is horrific and heart breaking. And the idea that children shouldn’t be protected is disgusting.
Yesterday I was watching a kids movie with my 11 year old. The two main character “good guys” were arguing (an old school guy and a young progressive guy). Their conversation went something like this:
Old school good guy: “when you get hit you have hit back and hit so hard that the bad guy never gets back up”
Young progressive good guy: “when you fight fire with fire the whole world gets burned. There’s no good people or bad people, just people”.
In my continuous battle against the programming of my children I stopped the movie right there and had a conversation with my son that unimaginable evil exists in the world and we have to be prepared to do whatever it takes to stop it.
