Tragic events today

In the sidebar, you'll find Carmi and Mr. Althouse. Both have posts regarding the Virginia Tech tragedy. Read them. Not because I'm telling you to, but because Carmi's right - if we don't make it an issue, the numbing will continue and such tragedies might win commonplace status in our lives.

And that'd be just plain wrong.

I've yet to read or see/hear any news on it myself, so follow the links for now.

Thanks, Carmi. You're right and here's proof of agreement.
