you know that saying about guns? you know the one that goes "guns don't kill people, people kill people." well, i would say that guns had a lot to do with the murder of 18 elementary age children today. maybe we should have conceal/carry for 6 year olds. then maybe this wouldn't have happened.

i generally assume the worst in people. i don't have a very optimistic view of the people around me. i just assume that when push comes to shove, most people will do what benefits them the most just about all of the time. i am always amazed at how many people are willing to take risks with other peoples' lives while driving. this, however, is beyond all i could ever imagine possible. these shootings are progressively re-defining american cowardice. and now not even kindergarteners are safe at school.

it is a lovely time to be a parent.
