Bennett topic applies to other regions
Clay Bennett’s cartoon last week of a drone, pulling a banner, “why do you hate us?” gave me pause for thought. Friends recently returned from Cambodia. While there, their host asked this poignant question, “Why do the American people hate our children?” He continued by explaining that in 2009 the United States government sent $77 million to Cambodia and set up 12 abortion clinics. They also trained numerous midwives who travel to rural areas, performing abortions. Our taxes have funded this, and Cambodia is only one of many countries where we have committed this atrocity.
Last week, our president chided those who are working in our country to lessen the number of abortions through state legislation and asked Planned Parenthood to spread the word about his “health plan.” After adopting two of our three children, who now are adults, I can’t even imagine if they had never been born!
Only on Judgment Day will our country see the gravity of our national sin. The blood of the innocents, just as in Pol Pot’s killing fields of Cambodia, and across the world, cry out for justice.

Officers in schools not the answer
Officers in schools? Best investment? Average officer’s salary: $35,000. The total cost would be $3.5 billion. What do we gain for the money? How do we pay the cost? Add that much taxation? We can’t even handle the present budget with politicians in charge and many wishing to limit taxes even more.
