Wow, what a week. It seems like tragedy just won't leave our country alone. The Boston bombings, the explosion of the fertilizer plant in Texas, the continuing trampling of our rights, and the conspiracies that seem to surround the men and woman of our government.
Anyway, what I want to talk about is the shutting down of Boston. It severely bothers me. I understand that the circumstances were extraordinary; however, those are the times when we, as the American people, need to be most cautious. Rights are not taken from people in a day. It takes time and usually a tragic event or extreme circumstance. In this case, it was a terrorist running loose in Boston. 
Now, I cannot say that I have answers at this moment. I simply am raising the red flag. We need to be careful of giving up any right to the government in exchange for security. When a right is given away, it is rarely given back. Do not misunderstand, I am not criticizing the citizens or police force of Boston. Especially, those with families and people for whom they are responsible. But, I would hope in the future that when something like this happens, because this is not the first and it won't be the last, that our police force and our citizens will demand to do right by the constitution. I pray that our rights, each and everyone of them, will be completely respected and that good will conquer over evil.
 We shouldn't have civilians locked in their homes. We shouldn't have people unable to go about their days as they wish. We shouldn't have police trespassing and searching private property. We shouldn't have guns pointed at innocent civilians as they are forced out of their homes. We shouldn't have it and we shouldn't stand for it. 
We need to formulate a better way to handle extreme circumstances such as this. At the moment I do not have a solid idea. I will continuing thinking about it, if you have any thoughts feel free to comment or to contact us.
