>Guess our national leaders didn't expect this, hmm?  On Thursday, Darrell
>Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School
>shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House
>Judiciary Committee's subcommittee.  What he said to our national leaders
>during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.  They were
>not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well.  It needs to
>be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every
>sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert!  These
>courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and
>deeply personal.  There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice
>crying in the wilderness.  The following is a portion of the transcript:
>
>"Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts
>of men and women.  We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of
>violence.  The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the
>deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must
>not be in vain.  Their blood cries out for answers.
>
>"The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out
>in the field.  The villain was not the club he used.  Neither was it the
>NCA, the National Club Association.  The true killer was Cain, and the
>reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart.
>
>"In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how
>quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA.  I am not a
>member of the NRA.  I am not a hunter.  I do not even own a gun.  I am not
>here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are
>responsible for my daughter's death. T herefore I do not believe that they
>need to be defended.  If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's
>murder I would be their strongest opponent.
>
>I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy-it was a
>spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame
>lies!  Much of the blame lies here in this room.  Much of the blame lies
>behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves.  " I wrote a poem
>just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best.  This was written way
>before I knew I would be speaking here today:
>
>                     Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
>                          Your words are empty air.
>                     You've stripped away our heritage,
>                       You've outlawed simple prayer.
>                      Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
>                         And precious children die.
>                      You seek for answers everywhere,
>                         And ask the question "Why?"
>                       You regulate restrictive laws,
>                         Through legislative creed.
>                      And yet! you fail to understand,
>                          That God is what we need!
>
>
>
>"Men and women are three-part beings.  We all consist of body, soul, and
>spirit.  When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we
>create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and reek
>havoc. S piritual presences were present within our educational systems for
>most of our nation's history.  Many of our major colleges began as
>theological seminaries.  This is a historical fact.  What has happened to
>us as a nation?  We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the
>doors to hatred and violence.  And when something as terrible as
>Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat
>such as the NRA.  They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that
>contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties.  We do not
>need more restrictive laws.  "Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by
>metal detectors.  No amount of gun laws can stop so meone who spends months
>planning this type of massacre. T he real villain lies within our own
>hearts.
>
>"As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two
>friends murdered before his very eyes - He did not hesitate to pray in
>school.  I defy any law or politician to deny him that right!  I challenge
>every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on
>April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our
>schools.  Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain.
>Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for
>legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him.  To
>those of you who would point your finger at the NRA - I give to you a
>sincere challenge.  Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first
>stone!   My daughter's death will not be in vain!  The young people of this
>country will not allow that to happen!"
>
>Do what the media did not - - let the nation hear this man's speech. Please
>send this out to everyone you can
