I did not bat an eye.

Another shooting...and I somehow was not surprised. This is either a very sad commentary on me at this stage in my life, having lived through countless outrages and now inured to them, or it is a commentary on my country...maybe a bit of both. Either way, it is not good. Go to the movies, go to school, fly in a plane, ride in a motorcade, hold a campaign at a supermarket, piss off your boss, piss off your ex. This is how we settle things in America. I don't know what we do about this but I do know one thing: treat and speak of everyone with respect. Even those we disagree with. I think of the old adage during WWII "loose lips sink ships." Today, loose lips encourage psychopaths and cause death. Rush, Glen, take note.

1. treat and speak of everyone with respect. Even those we disagree with.

2. I'm glad I'm not the only one...it makes

me want to cry that I reacted the way I did.

4. again...

i have been thinking about that since hearing the story. and feel that, too. that alone says a whole lot, where we are today.

3. I agree with all of you. Turned on the tv around 5:30 a.m. and my reaction was to turn the tv

off, it was going to be another one of those god-awful days. This is heartbreaking and I don't want to listen to commenters on the tv..
