I disagree. Attacking children this way or being attacked, one could sleep at night protecting oneself and others by taking care of them. This is real life, not philosophical musings he’s talking about. We are part of the same law here as all living creatures, to naturally attempt to stay alive and thrive, the applies to protecting our children and all children God expects, Consciousness expects no less or you’re suicidal. These are anti life beings. We promote Life.

I'm not into worrying about the dog that might move in down the street and bite me. Teaching children to want to kill is no different than what they are doing in Africa, training children to be "freedom fighters".

Our children are our legacy and that means a balanced approach to what we are feeding their minds. If the moment of truth comes then our children will have the confidence to act with courage, knowing that they will have to deal with the ultimate consequences of their actions just the same as a common criminal. In fact, it might be your children protecting YOU. That is what will keep them sane.

There is also that 'little law' about creating your own reality. I am not busy creating that reality for myself or any children, nor am I stuck in "philosophical musings". It is no less a sin to make snap judgements, sweeping assumptions or vilifying innocent people based upon one's own ignorant fears and notions. Aren't we told that we are ALL God's children. I'm here for the INNOCENT of any age, size, race, color or religion. It's a proven fact that white people are afraid of melanin. The vibration is different, and we are afraid of what we are unwilling to explore in ourselves. It's true, melanated people have a very different vibration than the unmelanated people and instead of seeking to understand, more seek to destroy. This is WRONG and it gives rise to the very thing we are most afraid of.

I was on a beach in Sri Lanka years ago, an expectant mother and I brought candy for the kids...bon bons, along with pencils, crayons, coloring books and small toys, an entire trunk full. That's all I had to say was bon bons. I was surrounded by more than 100 little brown kids within 5 minutes and YES, I was quite literally scared. I don't know where they came from as they weren't there when I got there. At the center of a sea of precious, innocent, little brown kids and I was, indeed, frightened. There was an incredible lesson that came out of that momentary fear for me. Those children were some of the most precious people I had ever become acquainted, with their dirty faces, bare feet and desire for something different than what they were used to.

I have spent years in circles of people whose children were stolen from them. I'm no stranger to the preciousness of children and the responsibility we have for them. This is not a black and white issue.

As well, there have been powerful advocates and allies for wild animals that were attacked and killed by the very animals they were trying to protect. Life if full of irony and we are made to be extremely powerful creatures. Seeking to be proven "right" and self-fulfilling prophecy aren't my bag. I know better and there's no going back for me.
