Thank you for the walk not this one (above) but this one (below)

for I know I needed to go but without your influence I probably would have stayed inside. I didn’t literally have to go (don’t worry that’s done in a different location) but I had to enjoy the beauty of the day and early evening.  My life was not depended on but I think my soul needed an extra work out to realize the beauty that is right around me. So thank you for the walk and let’s plan on you taking me for walks for G-D willing many, many, many years to come.

President Trump showed the nation that it’s time to listen and maybe we just might. Instead of calling each other names let’s listen to ideas to stop school violence from all sides and base our decisions not on right or left but what will realistic work within the constrains of Constitutional liberty and justice.  I’d like to see this occur but I already received a strongly worded letter from one side and an angry response from the other. Now it’s time for those in power to listen to common sense and seek solutions based on that principal.

FOOTNOTE –   Some suggestions that I believe deserve extra consideration at this listening forum.

(1) Allowing trained armed teachers and coaches in school

(2) Having less entrance points to a school.

(3) Instructing teachers in the ability to spot and deal with troubled youth more effectively.

(4) Giving greater access to those with mental health issues.

(5) Stronger background checks

17 Police Officers have already been killed in 2018 and it’s only the first month of the year.  Justin Billa from Alabama was the latest officer to give his life on duty and that is way too many. What is bizarre is this currently less then last year where 20 officers died in the same period.  We need to develop better protocols between officers and suspects as well as to insure they are more protected against those that would do them harm. Whether it means arming these officers when they are involved in a shootout with military style equipment or waiting even longer to lesson harm to them and others new steps must be taken.  One Police Officer’s death is too many and 17 should be the wake up call that something needs to change immediately.

You’ve made your dish (figuratively and literally) and now you have to eat it that is unless you decide to go back to the kitchen and try again. For it is true this time our dish might not be as elaborate as the 1st time but it could bring better results then our first try.  So maybe take a bite of the 1st dish but if it doesn’t taste right go ahead and give it another try for we all can learn from our mistakes instead of just cry in them.

No rational person wants someone who is not being treated for a mental health issue possessing guns but a simple ban might do more harm then then good for everyone. For example  will a person refuse treatment for a slight problem  before it becomes deadly serious because they fear they will be deprived of their 2nd amendment rights? Could those in power claim others are “mentally ill” to claim additional power grabs?  With such concerns here are solutions that I believe could work instead.

(1) WORK WITH PATIENTS– Let psychiatrist/psychologist/therapist discuss with patients the possession of guns to convince them of their safety concerns if need be.  If a danger persists in this case professionals should have special exceptions to alert those in law enforcement who can seek immediate court action to remove those weapons until threat is controlled.

(2) LOVED ONES ALERT– Individuals can alert law enforcement officials if they believe a loved one doesn’t have the ability to safely own these weapons. This individual will then have two psychiatric reviews if the court believes there is enough evidence to order such a review.  If it is determined that the individual is not competent to possess such weapons they will be confiscated until proper treatment is obtained.

(3) ALERT GUN STORES-  Notify gun stores of individuals that appear to be on the borderline of mental health and train them to spot signs that these individuals might not be best equipped to possess such arms. Gun Owners may not have the ability to deny such ownership but will automatically alert an NRA Liaison Officer and Law Enforcement to conduct a more thorough investigation.

There is probably nothing more painful for a person other then facing their own mortality then those of their loved one. Yet when one believes that their loved one’s are journeying to a different place it can become much more comforting. A place where there is true peace and happiness. This place is where they can see you and you still can feel their presence in others and even in a wind that blows out of know where.  If you can imagine your loved one going to a far off land without any cell phone reception then this could help them peaceful enter their new destination and chart one for you.  Their journey might begin again in a new body right here on earth or on a distant gate but it will somewhere that is so wonderful that they won’t want to return to their old body.  Of course they will miss you as you miss them but G-D willing the memories will help you both move forward in peace and renewed happiness.

I might have found the nut in the water that knocks me sideways. For Zico  Chocolate Coconut Water has just the right amount of Coconut to make sure it’s Chocolaty enough for these taste buds.  It’s flavor through every sip and it is still good for you and me!  Zico Chocolate Flavor Coconut Water might have just become my drink of choice and even health. WARNING make sure you refrigerate unused portion unless you like the spoiled milk flavor.

**** Great Flavor that lasts way after the first sip but with no nasty side effects later.

No good person in America wants to see another tragedy like we’ve seen way to often from Parkland Florida to Las Vegas Nevada and that is why I take the stance I take while you might take a different stance.  In my heart I truly believe the only way to stop a bad person meant on perpetrating evil at the moment is to have a good person prepared and willing to stop it.  We can believe in our police and FBI coming to the rescue but way too often even those officers of peace can only make after a slaughter has begun.  Whether it happens in a home where domestic abuse is rampant and an individual needs to protect them as well as their children immediately, an inner city where a young lady must be able to protect herself against an attacker or even “the back country” where animals unknown to city folk can suddenly attack we shouldn’t be in the busy of telling how this protection needs to occur. Of course this doesn’t mean everyone is capable of handing this equipment as not everyone is capable of driving a car. Therefore we should consider innovative ways to solve an old problem here are just some (below).

(1)  NRA LIAISON OFFICER-   If an individual buys an unusual large amount of ammunition at one time or many weapons a trained NRA Liaison officer and an Officer of the laws would meet with such an individual in a friendly basis and try to determine if further investigation is needed for local or federal officials. This way an individual 2nd Amendment rights are protected as well as the public safety. They could ask the court to temporarily take away these weapons and ammo for 30 days until a deeper investigation occurs.

(2) WATCH LIST-  Individuals who are expelled from school have been reported for domestic abuse, animal cruelty etc would set off a red bell when purchasing any weapons. Once that occurs an NRA Liaison Officer with an officer of the Law would meet said individual at their home to insure they are intended for peaceful purposes. They could ask the court to temporarily take away these weapons for 30 days for further investigation.
