Once again, we are faced with yet another public horror. The shootings at Virginia Tech today is another example that we live in a society that is sick in its soul.
What would prompt a student to pick up a gun and kill 30 fellow classmates? Why does this seem to be a particularly American phenomena? You don't hear much about these kinds of things in other countries. In fact, the 30 students killed today almost matches the murder rate in the entire nation of Canada for last year.
Of course, now we will see another round of fear-mongering, and another round of trying to take away rights to make us "safe."
It saddens me that we seem to live in such a violent culture. I don't know why. I wish I did.
