Of late, I have not been inclined to post anything here. Simply because I haven't had the time... Twitter has been my salvation and I whet my appetite for blogging by tweeting everyday... and there are days when I just feel like I have to express my thoughts in more than 140 characters - today is one of those days.
Who in their right minds thinks violence is acceptable? Especially violence against innocent children or teenagers going to school to chart their futures? I am as devastated by this incident as I was when the Virginia Tech incident happened. In this case, it could not have been me, but it could have been one of my friends - their kids with sweet faces, innocent questions and unadulterated thoughts.... The thought of their being in danger sends a chill down my spine... Is there a safe place for us anywhere? Schools, malls, movie theaters - are we to stop living our lives? When will this senseless violence stop?
For those folks supporting the 2nd amendment, tell me why an elementary school teacher needed to have so many guns in the house? What messages are we sending to our kids by hoarding so many guns in the house? Why is it so easy to get multiple guns? Does anyone ask - you already have 2, is there a reason for a third?
After each incident, there is this hum of "we need to look at gun control", yet when it comes to actions, nothing ever gets done. Heck, it's not even on the discussion agenda right now... If not now, when?
