Election Day

Tomorrow is election day, it will be so nice to have all the campaigning over, and for those of us who are not campaigning, but supporting people who are running in hopes that we will get someone in who can bring about much needed change. I voted absentee, so no running to the polls for me, though I admit I like the feeling of going out on election day to cast my ballot. I hope there will be enough new blood in Congress to counter some of the craziness taking place in our country.

Mass Shootings

It has been nearly nineteen years since the Columbine Massacre. That is what it was called, a massacre, it was so horrible, so shocking, that someone could go into a school and start shooting, and fifteen were dead. We were shocked! It was so unthinkable, it was hard to absorb that something so unthinkable could happen.

Well, nearly nineteen years later, and many shootings have taken place. The latest today, at a school in Florida. It is still horrible, and disturbing, and sad, but it is no longer unthinkable, we are no longer shocked. The fact that shootings are so commonplace that we are no longer shocked is a tragedy in itself.
