Public Tears...

Two photographs this morning of people shedding tears in public dominate my Internet server's front page.

The first is of Melanie Jones, mother of the murdered eleven year old boy, recounting to a police news conference how she cradled her unconscious dying boy in her arms begging him not to leave her.

The second is that of some non-person sobbing because she has been voted the least liked 'housemate' by her peers in the television nonsense 'Big Brother'.

The showing of the second is an insult to the first, but the greater insult is our acceptance as a society that the second should be considered a matter of any interest.

Ours is truly a degenerate sinful world and the time is now for mourning, confession and repentance.
