Hmmm...

Yesterday was a very powerful day. Tragedy struck when a gunman opened fire on the Virginia Tech campus killing over 30 people. I have never been able to wrap my head around how one person could kill another. I definitely do no understand how you could intentionally kill a whole group of people. To drive the point home, I was watching a George Carlin comedy special hoping to have some humor to lighten the day. He made a very interesting point. Humans are the ONLY species that kill other members of its species for no reason. Sure there are other species that will kill its own species, but it is usually out of defense or for food. No we humans kill for the sake of killing. It is kind of chilling to think about. I really don't know where I am going with this or even where to go. My prayers are with the family, friends, students, faculty, and staff of Virginia Tech as well as the community of Blacksburg. The family of the shooter is also in my prayers. I can't imagine how you deal with the news that your own child killed 30+ people, including himself.
