Dear God,

today the menopausebarees and our fellow brothers and sisters the world over are praying for the end of this nightmare called terrorism. We pray for an end to the senseless deaths of the innocent; we pray that terrorists unlearn their horrific acts of violence and we pray for safety, security and (the return of) our sanity, for this evil cannot be innate to the human condition.

It can’t be. It’s not just . . .
