[[ 22 ]] TIRED OF EVIL

While hearing of innocent people being harmed is lousy, on any given day -- there's an angle which becomes almost maddening when those innocents are children.

The recent events at Sandy Hook left me pretty disenchanted with Humanity as a whole.
I know that so many decent citizens have come together to heal, cope and address the event. I take some solace in that.
Still, I'm feeling a little wrecked, to tell the truth.
Violence, always ugly - rarely justified... just seems downright evil sometimes.

Just sick about it. Tired of it. 
Tired of grown adults deciding that the most destructive, negative, senseless solutions are justifiable.

To you jackasses who choose to promote hate, violence and oppression as a means of enforcing your view of the world:
You're dead inside. ****ing dumb animals. Despicable empty vampires.



Not much else to say, really.

Here's another story. More of the same.

- C.D.

Marizeh, a 6-year-old wounded by the Taliban in Afghanistan, ahead of life-changing surgery at a hospital on Long Island.

OCEANSIDE (WABC) -- Even after all that little 6 year old Marizeh has been through, she still has a warm, welcoming smile. She waved to the cameras just about an hour before going into surgery at South Nassau Communities Hospital. Marizeh was brought here from her remote village in Afghanistan by Staten Island based Global Medical Relief Fund.

The Taliban ambushed her family last spring, murdering her father and brother right in front of her.
"She was being hidden underneath the feet of her father. They shot her in the face and they thought she had died she was there for about three hours until she was discovered," plastic surgeon Dr. Kaveh Alizadeh said.

"The bullet entered from the left cheek and the exit side was above the right orbit," Alizadeh said.
She lost her right eye and she has no ability to breathe through her nose because of the buildup of scar tissue.

"So our task today is going to be to take her to the operating room open up the scar the airwave and probably end up borrowing cartilage from the ear," Alizadeh said. They'll use that to reline the inside of her nose. It's a remarkable surgery for a remarkable little girl

"She does know she is having surgery and that she's going to be better," Elissa Montanti, Global Medical Relief Fund," said.
The procedure should restore Marizeh's ability to breathe through her nose so she can sleep normally again, and she will receive a prosthetic eye.
