My son and his friend were flying their kites, approached by these boys who wanted to fly their kites. They let them, one kite went down, my son's friend went to pick it up and he was punched. then my son was punched. My son and his friend dropped the kites, ran home and told me to call the cops. I am scared of what is to come this summer with no summer school and park programs, not to mention all the violence in our world, the bad example of our leaders of how to solve conflict, the constant shoving down our throats of this violence. compounded with many families that are in hard times, taking it out on their families, their children who are out on the streets with nothing to do but cause trouble. like my friend said, what Pawlenty is doing is causing our city to be like a pressure cooker with the heat turned up. Peace, Kristin ===== wouldn't it be something if the people of the earth would live together in peace __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster.
