Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I've been busy the last two days babysitting our grandson.  He's good natured and amiable, and basically I follow him around and keep him from injuring himself, and feed him, and read and push trains and cars around with him.  We took him on a stroll today, and he was pointing out trucks and trees and all the ordinary/amazing things he saw.  His vocabulary is expanding rapidly, and we're very close to sentences, I believe.  Our two year old grandson is fluid in sentences, and knowing what's coming is exciting.  I think of these innocent beings, and then think of the Parkland students, and I can't stand the danger our stupid policies about guns have put our children and grandchildren in.  This is not acceptable.  I'll be marching tomorrow, because somehow we must make our representatives think of family values:  the right to live without fear of harm in our schools, where most children spend the majority of their lives until they are in their twenties.  Get down to basics.  Protect the vulnerable.  So that children have a future, and not a terrorized childhood.
