Ugly World

When I turn on my computer everyday it automatically logs in to MSN. I actually use yahoo, but MSN has some pretty good news stories so I start out by reading some.

Today On MSN there is a news story about a TV anchor woman, Anne Pressly, who was almost beaten to death in her apartment. Everyone said she was a nice woman and everyone loved her. There was no evidence of a break in, but she had been robbed. She is a beautiful woman and her career is just starting, so who could have done such a foul, insane thing.

Today the world can be so ugly at times when you are not even safe in your own apartment, never mind out on the streets. There are stories of young girls being kidnapped , beaten, raped and forced into prostitution. Purse snatching is rampant and old ladies can be killed for a lousy few bucks in their pockets or a gold chain around their neck. I fear for my daughters every time they're not at home. The older ones are cautious because they have lived long enough and read too many horror stories. I fear for the youngest one who is so blaze about many things. Every time my son cycles to school I fear for him, because drivers on the road today drive like idiots, and when he's late coming back from school I sit on pins and needles waiting for him to come home.

Kids now a days are spoiled yes, but giving them a hand phone is actually a good thing in this day and age. At least if they are late you can call them or they can call you. Many a time a hand phone has saved someones life. They should be allowed to take them to school provided they do not spend their time smsing their friends when they should be studying.

Yes we live in a scary world, and my kids decide to bless me with grandchildren I will be here to babysit, because sometimes you can't even trust the crazy maids.
