Right off the bat, I remind everyone that thoughtful discussion is always welcomed here at veritable pastiche, and I warmly encourage your constructive and respectful comments, if you're so inclined.
Ready... Set... Wonder!
Another day, another school, another group of slaughtered children, another round of thoughts and prayers. And, another round of wondering.

I wonder how, in a world where "All Lives Matter," there's nothing we can do about mass murder.
I wonder why the very best that the very best of us can do is offer thoughts and prayers.
I wonder why we are so complacent.
I wonder how we are sleeping at night, knowing that children are not coming home from school, and people are not coming home from the grocery store, not coming home from religious services, not coming home from the movies. People are not coming home. Again.
They. Are. Not. Coming. Home.
What are you wondering about?
