As I examined the news this morning, I discovered that I had made an error. An examination by the coroner's office indicated a death had occurred on January 1, 2011 and now a second on January 2, 2011. The first had resulted from knife wounds inflicted three days before. Now the bell of death has rung twice. How many times will it ring this year. It is time for some actions to be taken to avoid these unnecessary deaths. When we read the obituaries we realize that so many also have died from natural causes. These are hard for the families to accept also. However, as the families mourn they can understand the cause. Indeed I have also read of new scientific discoveries that might alleviate the deaths caused by cancer - a new blood test to be examined by four leading medical institutions. May that lead to longer lives for many and may that discovery lead to people using their lives in meaningful ways. BUT THE QUESTION REMAINS - HOW DO WE STOP THE MURDERS IN NEW ORLEANS, ITS SUBURBS, AND EVEN IN THIS STATE?
