I am saddened, shocked, appalled and confused by the horrible massacre at Virginia Tech. There is no way to express feeling toward this incident other than horror, terror and fear for our culture and society.

I am not going to talk about how incredibly unbelievable it is that a person can mow down 30+ innocents and then not have the damn guts to live and face the consequences. Coward.

I am going to say a few short words about food, computers and gaming consoles. Parents need to get their priorities straight. They need to place family at the forefront of their lives they need to make work important but not the only thing. They need to interact with their significant other in a way that is suitable for a child to witness, if you can”t do that, get divorced and live happily apart rather than unhappily together.

Parents need to curb their childrens gaming time. They also need to monitor the purchasing games that illustrate death, ganstars, theft, murder, demons and all that jazz. I am not saying stop altogether, that is not realistic either. I am also not blaming this or any other massacre on television, games, the internet, movies or music. I am blaming it on the individual who committed the act, but askig for those who knew him to wake up and notice the patterns.

What patterns? Well, you cannot tell me that this guy simply snapped one day swung by a gunshot, picked it up and popped on over to the nearest school and murdered people. There was a build up, a slow change in his mentality, behaviour, demeanour and other things. There were people who chose not to see this kid, there were people who were so self centered that they didn’t see that he was plotting a masacre.

All I am saying is take the time to balance your life, to include those who love you and those you love, do not ignore them for your success. There is always enough time if you want there to be enough time. Always.
