I feel That in life most people do not get the respect they deserve it seems as though death is necessary for many to be appreciated and some times in death those that should be forgotten are canonized when they should be vilified.. the students and teachers at VA tech should be canonized and lionized because they are a the victims in a world were collateral damage is accepted.. We must have our guns so these people are the drive -by victims of our insane love for powerful and destructive toys.. I have nothing against someone owning a winchester or a handgun if they were in the army or received training... I do believe that owning a gun needs to become a priveledge and not a right.. just as having a child should be viewed a gift from the goddess and not the thing every one does at a certain time of their life.. These people deserve prayer and devotion and in the next 90 days as their souls acclimate to death we should light candles to light their way or nightlight if unable to light candles and pray that they are guided to the heaven of their souls home or to a auspiciuos new life and pray that they are at peace. I hope that the mentally ill gunman is helped in death as he was not able to be help here on this plane..I hope those that tried to help the victims and the prepatrator continue to be of service to people and not be discouraged by the final outcome of these events.. Tragedy occur in life frequently and must be studied to learn from but one cannot simply us this a political ploy to prove your beliefs are right whether conservative or liberal...People will be bitter but the victim and the prepatrator must helped with prayer and the friends and family comforted...I honestly believe if we study the tragedy first and then assign blame after first seeing to the honoring of the dead. I wish that when something like this happens there be a moritorium on comments from politicians and committee formed to see what caused the event... Everyone will have an opinion on this in the end..I stated mine above..We need to move beyond opinion to solution and see that the mentally ill receive help and that these things do not happen again... thank you and merry part from the hinterlands...
