When we are told that we should be proud of who we are no matter what, we lose our moral compass

I cried when I read this in the London Lite yesterday: 7 month old baby shot while strapped in car seat in an apparent botched home robbery.

How can anyone point a gun to a 7 month old baby's head, let alone execute a young life so pointlessly? I think there is a moral difference between killing an adult and a child - the difference lies in degrees of helplessness.

Anyways, it's not always that a distant piece of news hits so close to home. His name was Sean Paul Aquitania Jr.
