Hi Folks,

Weird day. Hard to talk about something light with the massacre that happened today at Virginia Tech. I will say that as shocking and horrifying as it is, there seems to be a weird ho-hum sort of vibe about it all. I've seen student after student interviewed and they're so matter of fact that to me that's chilling in and of itself. Almost like it's just a blip on the radar. Perhaps our society is so used to horror movies and terrorist reports from the war zones and video games where mass murder is fun that this tragedy is just another thing to be referenced more by the numbers of the dead than the real loss behind it. Almost like it's a score because the most people were killed ever in a US murder. Anyone else sensing this vibe of acceptance? When Columbine happened, there seemed to be true shock. Now it's just this weird matter of fact response.

Hmmmmm....

Brian
