#PrayforParis

Well, the world is not okay tonight.  The country that gave us the Statue of Liberty is under attack from terrorists.  Like the children in the gangs in Chicago, LA, Atlanta, and every big city in America.  More will die in the U.S. this weekend than will die in Paris.  

Paris will probably be a call to action for the West to attack ISIS with more vigor.  Bigger bombs, it is what we understand.  

There will be no call to action to change what happens on American streets.  There is no big bomb, there is no one we can deliberately hurt to change things.  The children dying in the gangs are black and hispanic mostly, their moms single, their dads uneducated.  We will give no bomb of help to their moms to keep these children in school, or even fed them.    The next generation will be the same as the last, our lack of commitment guarantees it.  And some day, the child can grow up hoping to join ISIS and we won't understand.
