We Cannot Spare Another Child
The simple and devastating truth should be self-evident. No second grader or high school junior should lose their life to a madman with a semi-automatic rifle.
The tsunami of pain and loss and shock eventually swamp everyone, starting with extended family and touching all with the unconscionable violence.
Beyond the grief and fear and loss there's another devastation.
What do all these people have in common? They were once children, who lived to grow up and change the world.
* Albert Einstein (1879-1955 AD)
* Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727 AD)
* Marie Curie (1867-1934 AD)
* Archimedes (287-212 BC)
* Nikola Tesla (1856-1943 AD)
* Charles Darwin (1809-1882 AD)
* Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958 AD)
* Ada Lovelace (1815-1852 AD)
* Louis Pasteur (1822-1895 AD)
* CV Raman (1888-1970 AD)
There are dozens of similar lists that could be compiled.
We don't know what those senselessly, pointlessly, heinously dead children might have grown up to accomplish.
