Virginia Tech. A moment of silence for you.

4/17 Virginia Tech

Very sad. But what to do about it? Now we can expect the question in the media or at the political level, “How can we make sure this never happens again?” And Bush to declare war on school shooters. “We have to take the war to them, and stop them before they get started and can ever do this again.” Gun control will come up again, but the truth is that if someone wants to kill a lot of people, he doesn’t need a gun. Timothy McVeigh anyone?

And then we have people like Dr. Phil saying this is all something new and something needs to be done about it. While something needs to be done about it, it isn’t new. Sad to say but there have been school shootings & massacres for decades. They will continue. And when they happen we will all gather ‘round the fireplace and come up with no good answer, or a good answer that will not always be implemented. Unpleasant…I’ll get back when I have the solution, or I hear of a good one.
