I may chat about my books, what I'm writing or reading, or just general thoughts. You may read posts about my cats or just my crazy life in general. Comments are welcome, if anyone wants to interact with me. Maybe we can share war stories, whether it's writing related or just about life in general.

Is everyone crazy these days?


Okay, I’m talking about the massacre at a gay nightclub about a week ago in Orlando, Florida.  We were celebrating birthdays of four people that I know who have theirs on the 12th and I came home to this forecast.  Why does this stuff keep happening?  It makes me wonder how good the upper echelons in the government are.  I don’t think any of us should ever feel safe from anything. 

Now I realize this is a gay nightclub and this terrorist was against all gays, not to mention everything else he was against.  I’m not in the gay camp but I believe all should do as they wish with their lives if they aren’t interfering with or hurting others.  It’s wrong to kill people just because you don’t agree with them.

If this kid was on the FBI questionable people list and was interrogated by them two years ago, why did they let him off the list and how was this guy able to buy weapons without being questioned?  I have very little faith in our government who is supposed to protect us.  That faith is dwindling more everyday.  I think we have to be responsible for ourselves and not expect to be protected by anyone else.  Of course a lot of this is luck by not being in the wrong place at the wrong time because you never know when a crazy person will take it upon themselves to kill a bunch of us unexpectedly.

It will never be enough to have some officials come to the microphone and express their “heartfelt condolences” to people who have lost family members in something that could have been prevented (perhaps) if they would do their job in the first place.  We’ve all seen this happen if there’s a tragedy.  This will not ever bring your loved ones back!

We are really going to hell in a hand basket quick because there are so many confused and deranged individuals out there.  These people are unstable and no one will heed the warning signs until it’s too late and yet another tragedy brings them before the microphone on the national news.


We need big changes now or we won’t be any better off than the third world countries overseas.  Is this the kind of country you want to leave to your kids and grand kids?  I don’t think so.

    1. Thanks John. Strange things go on these days and no one ever seems to take action to do anything about it BEFORE the next tragedy.

  2. This guy was interestingly bizarre; strange person he was. Living in a state (Arizona) where it is legal to open carry with a gun (though there are places where you can't have guns, schools, some places will post no firearms, etc.,) a tragedy like this might have less loss of life because perhaps someone would be carrying a gun and take down the gunman. People like him are cowards; they go into innocent places where they know more than likely no one will be armed.

    You are right, we aren't safe any more no matter where we are at. Interestingly, I've been to a lot of churches over the years in a lot of states and cities, but several churches down here we've checked out have had police there during the services, not security guards, but actual police. Probably worth the expense I do believe.

    1. Betty,

      The world has gone crazy when we have to have police to protect people in church. Things have gotten way out of hand.

    1. Thea,

      Yeah, I can't believe we have police in churches now to keep us safe. I don't know where the world is going but I'm sure it's nowhere good.

    1. Liz,

      I agree. I guess all we can do is sigh and hope we aren't in the wrong place at the wrong time.
