Support my son

It has now been 20 months since I wrote.  Since then I've lost about thirty pounds (the bad part of that is that I had gained the thirty pounds that I had to lose.), I have run a half marathon (slowly jogged is more like it), and  bought an RV so I can soon return to the Road Warrior life. 

However, today's post will be short.  It's purpose is to introduce you to a web site:

http://wewillnotsupportviolence.org/

and its sister Facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/petitiontomsmtonotprofitfromviolence

My son, Phil, is the author of the sites.

The web site is a petition to the major media to stop glorifying mass murderers for a profit and the FB page is a purveyor of good news.  Please visit and friend or sign if you agree.  If you disagree, please leave a message so that we can have an intelligent discussion about such an important issue.  I find it ironic that one of my last posts concerned Jared Loughner.  To be honest I couldn't even remember which of the atrocities he committed.  Its a sad commentary when we become so inured to the violence that it is nothing special and "they all look alike."

There are many other sites like Phil's. That's good.  I know that I feel helpless.  I am sure that many of you feel the same way.  But maybe by supporting him he can join with others who have similar support and they can accomplish something.  And I truly believe that something needs to be accomplished .... just sayin.

I leave you with a Youtube video:
