When Voices Aren’t Heard

Judy Rodman — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:05:00 +0000

Voices need to be heard. When they aren’t, not only is the individual somehow compromised, the world is, also. I woke this morning to the horrible breaking news of another mass shooting of innocent, random victims, this time in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.
