  • Lee R. Lawing: Very Common Remedies

    I am reminded so many times on FaceBook back in the day when that phrase "My Thoughts and Prayers are with the families of the victims" and I was like what the hell. Feeling the need to say something just out of the feeling or need to do so, isn't always the best line of action or even one that needs to be taken. Dakutis makes us all step back and look at the bigger picture about guns, religion and so many other aspect of our society as it is today. Let's pray that it all changes tomorrow!
