A change from the normal. A serious topic. There was a guy in the paper that I read today that I knew of. He was a sailor down where I work and while I did not personally know him, I knew of him...and in fact might have met him in passing without takeing notice. This man admitted to killing his young daughter. As I sat there and read it in shock I could only shake me head and feel saddened. Yet, as the day went on, as I is my way, I thought more of the event. Its a terrible thing, and if I feel that since I was 'close' to the murderer I had an oppertunity to stop it if I had only known. So then my mind takes the next enevitable step and I ask myself, what would I have done. Should I have tried to interfere and how? Should I have just killed him myself? Tried to worm my way into their lives... Its a startleing thing to concieve. What would you do?
