Originally I had planned a light-hearted,innocent blog for today,but out of respect for the families involved in the Sandy Hook Connecticut Elementary School shooting that blog is on hold.
What has changed so drastically in the last few decades to drive these young people to go shoot strangers,children,and sometimes family members,then turn the gun on themselves and end their young lives? An expert who was speaking about it said they were seeking their 15 minutes of fame. If that is the case why does the media keep catering to them? Mental illness is not a new disease,so again,what has changed? With all the conveniences at our fingertips have these young adults decided they would rather die than have to face the responsibilities of adulthood?
As late as the 1960s I believe boys still carried their pocketknives to school,now many schools have metal detectors. The 1960s are looked back on as the "peace and love" generation. What will this decades tag line be?
Again,I offer my sympathy.
