      Well i feel what you are saying but we cant do much about what happen over there but over here is a different story. There is a horrible world out there outside of Bermuda. Bermuda is blessed not to see the likes of those horrors.
      If you use the internet you can get a glimpses into those horrors
      As long as we don’t change our culture we should be protected.
