REFLECTION:
Last week 2 men, disappointed at big government, delivered a similar message, in different parts of the country, using drastically different delivery methods
In Minnesota
Speaking to a group of constituents a politician said: "We should take a nine iron and smash the window of big government in this country". He later said he meant is figuratively.
- Minnesota Governor
In Texas
A computer engineer committed suicide by flying his plane into the windows of a Government building. He left a detailed manifesto.
- Texas Madman
OBSERVATION:
Man in Minnesota
Was his statement an expression of genuine anger and discontentment? Should his comments be viewed as suspect because he too is part of "Big Government"...or perhaps, by being in it, he knows what's wrong and will do something concrete about it?
Man in Texas
Did you read his statement? Was his act simply one of a mad man or was it the cumulative acts of our government that made this citizen so hopeless?...
(My Note:Killing is never justified; this was a tragic, desperate act; I am saddened immensely by it.)
What do you think? Any lessons? What do we do now?...
