March For Our Lives

[Squirrel]

This is quite frankly, something I expected kids in the USA to have rain from the heavens even years ago, and I am so glad to see that they are finally making a concerted effort to have considered changes that need to be made so that there are fewer of our children shot while they are in schools.

As much as I respect the American constitutional right to "bear arms", and the important reasons for that, there does not have to be guns in the schools.

Especially weapons meant to kill as many people as quickly as possible.

I would like to stand up to support this group of (can I say "our", even if I'm a Canuck? I feel that us Canicls and 'Mericans are basically the same, and brothers) our children, and hope that some of you are in a position to join in marches to help your local politicians sit up and take notice.

You will all be voting soon, and your voices DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

I hope that some of you will be able to attend, and be loud, and add your voice to this! They have marches planned for many cities throughout the USA (even here in my hometown in Canada) all planned for:

March 24, 2018 at various times

(Even if you can't attend a march, you can still join in! They also have a petition which you can sign on-line.)

PS: This issue goes so much deeper than just guns. And I hope politicians can also be made to consider:

• helping bullied people before they go crazy and just want to kill everyone they know
• more of an emphasis on sensitivity; making all people feel included, despite their various differences
• creating a new stigma that violence of all forms is WRONG
• ways to protect children from random violence
• increase efforts to discern people who are possibly becoming violent
