People never fail to see the carnage, the pain and the hurt. Yet they seem to forget it quickly and never seem to learn from it.
As the great Alistair McCloud, our Scottish hero once said "People value human life to the same extent of their kitchen utensils. Change the décor and if the colour and appearance doesn't fit dump them".
Each day we hear of crimes on our doorstep and the shock and horror last a day and no one attempts to learn from it.
