THE news we keep seeing on TV these days is very distressing. The cruelty and barbarism that goes on is unthinkable. Are we all going mad?

We are in 2004, but the trouble in the world today is not getting any better - is it something to do with global warming?

I do worry about my grandchildren in the years ahead. When people start killing children, something is so terribly wrong. God forgive them.

Some countries don't help themselves. We have enough problems of our own, with crime and drugs. Old people can't go out at night. The powers that be are only playing with the problems, instead of doing something constructive.
