Larissa,

I am so proud to be your friend. It is a fine day when mamas stand up for thier kids and voice the need to keep stupid, violent toys off the shelves.

(Remember the JCPenney toy? The bombed out house with the "hero" inside...)

Sigh. When will the toy companies realize that we need to teach peace if we want to see peace? (O, right, they don't want peace because "war is good for the economy...")

You are being cheered from where I stand with the ferocity of a mother who agrees with you wholeheartedly!

Mara and Henry
