Thought about compassion.
 
In among all the discussion of the recent school tragedy,
Let's not forget the millions of individual compassionate acts of
kindness and gentleness, that although not seemingly newsworthy,
sustain communities across the planet.

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.

It may not be an unimaginable tragedy in your eyes and we can believe
that.

Have you paid your taxes this week.

Yes, by the further proliferation of guns and inequality of income.
It's all gonna be great. Something reminds me of France.

We have terrorists running religious organizations, religious leaders
blaming tragedies on the lack of school prayer, as if that's going to
protect children from madmen with guns.
