Time out on evil that men do

One of the saddest stories I read in today's edition was this: The 85-year-old victim of a Halloween 2005 attack has died.

The other one: Police say a local mother killed her baby by placing it in a microwave oven.

To live and be well for more than eight decades is a blessing. To die from complications of a shooting at that age is a crying shame.

And if 26-year-old China Arnold of Dayton microwaved her 1-month-old, she'll suffer dire consequences of the law, but she probably needs deep psychological help.

Men can do so much evil to one another, from disrupting traffic with a planted bomb, to kidnapping children, to robbing a convenience store (all of which happened today as well).

Time out!

I think we are way overdue for the glad tidings and joy I hope the holiday season brings.

It is literally a crying shame that we have produced such people who have so little respect for human life and its inherent value.
A crying shame.
Are these people merely sick or purely evil.

Michelle -
weren't we all born innocent, lovable and darling? What in God's name happens to take those precious, clean slates and make them into what they are today? Something happens.
In rare cases - you see mental illnesses - what is this? extraverted abuse reflecting their lives?
