Newtown


RECESS



When a father emerged from his church to speak with CNN's Anderson Cooper about the death of his child on that terrible Friday in Newton, I was surprised to hear him explain that we all have free will.  

My next door neighbor has guns.  He assured me they are under lock and key  and the family has been trained to safely use them.  I believed him until the day earlier this year when his son shot himself through his hand.  The bullet ended up lodged in their garage, which abuts my home.    

I wonder how that that child's free will was exercised.  I wonder how my free will would have been exercised if the bullet had struck me.
