HUGS to Virginia
What's up with this world... another school shooting. I am sure everyone's heard by now of the Virgina Tech shooting. So very sad... I just can't get my head around why these things happen to incident people, and far too often. It just seems to be getting worse. It really bothers me... I don't know any of the people, and it isn't close to home, but all the same, they are people, just like us & it can happen anywhere, to anyone at anytime, and they all have family/friends etc. that love them & lost them. Horrible.
Watching it last night I got angry & upset & Hank didn't say much. He isn't such an emotional person like me, but has commented many times about my big heart. I think it's okay, even good to feel this much for strangers.
Then I read Bluesleepy's most recent enrty about this tragedy. She says, "Call me a sap, but I'm really upset about the Virginia Tech shooting." This makes me wonder even more what this world is really like... does that make her or I a "sap"? I am curious on your opinions... Shouldn't we ALL care for one another this way? Maybe if we did this shit wouldn't happen so much! Or if we are wasting our own emotions on this or you have other opinions, I'd love to hear.
She got many comments agreeing she is not a sap. This is the comment I left:
What bugs me though, is the media. ABC I think it was, had already made a montage of clips of bodies being taen from the building and people running & crying to sad music. It was very sad, yes, and even effective, but I just don't think it's right to rush & do that... let people heal a little first, give the NEWS not a friggen music video. They'll do anything.... BUT do you ever see any coverage like this on the war or bodies of the soldiers being brought out of there? Not so much. Makes no sense to me.
There. Sorry about ranting on your diaryland!"
Your thoughts? Talk to me!
