Machine Gun Family Day?

Here's a news report about a fundraiser event using machine guns and other weapons of war--

The Manchester Republican Committee is inviting party members and their families to a "Machine Gun Shoot" where, for $25, supporters can spend a day trying out automatic weapons, said organizer Jerry Thibodeau.

"It's a fun day. It's a family day," said Thibodeau of the August 5 event. "It's quite exciting."

I had a strong physiological reaction when I read this story, something that resemble an urge to vomit. This is a mockery of real people who die everyday as a result of war.

Divorce

Divorce is like death. It's not mere broken covenant. It is a death of 'Us'.

As is with death of any person, the death of 'Us' will bring pain, even if 'Us' is not a particularly great person.

But what if this 'Us' is actually a great person, but only marred by 'Me' and 'You'?

What if 'Me' is so self absorbed and neglect 'Us'?

What if 'You' is too different or too strange that 'Us' is denied existence?

Without 'Me' or 'You', there is no 'Us'.

But if 'Me' and 'You' are the only that remain, then the death of 'Us' is really murder.

I pray for the death of divorce.
