In among all the discussion of the recent school tragedy,

Too bad they've become a necessity. I suppose the same was true
during the Crusades.

OK, I admit my mistake. I should have made my statement a bit simpler
for you. Lets try this and see if it works.

Amidst all the incredible heartbreak and helplessness we feel because
of an unimaginable tragedy like this, watch closely. You will see the
dozens upon dozens of people who put their own lives in harms way to
do right. The ordinary folks who rose to the occasion to provide help,
solace, a shoulder, a meal, or whatever was needed to try and get
through such an horrific event.

The good people still WAY outnumber the crazy and bad people and will
ultimately prevail.


It's not an unimaginable tragedy. It happens with some frequency in the
United States, which is the most violent modern western democracy.
Perhaps we are too violent a people to allow guns to be obtained so
easily. Terrorists tell their followers to get their firearms in the
United States, our gun laws are so weak.
