The Story
The Summary: Today's top story. Headline sums it all up.

I really don't know what to say. It only seems appropriate to post it further... just incase someone, somewhere hasn't heard about it yet. It's one of those things that you can't really have an opinion about... of course it's horrible, no one, right or left, is going to argue with you.

I think it's really sad that in order to get people to agree about something in the country, large numbers of people need to die. And even then, there's arguement about something. (9/11?)

Even in tragedies like today's, people want to start playing the blame game.

Take Columbine... all of a sudden it was Marilyn Manson's fault that these boys were as sick as they were. Not the parents, not those who were close and could actually have a real effect on them, but Marilyn Manson, a musician who happens to look really freaky.

Marilyn Manson didn't buy the guns, and Marilyn Manson didn't shut them out. Parents want to be fully responsible for their children until their children f*ck up... then they had nothing to do with it... it was the TV (we bought for him) or the video games (we bought for him) or the music (we bought for him). Stupid breeds stupid, it's as simple as that.

Back to what's important... my (as so many others') thoughts and prayers go out the victim's of today's tragic events and their families.
