Tomorrow marks 10 years since Columbine
I was going to say the 10 year anniversary, but that phrasing just seems wrong.

I know that a lot of violence follows special dates and tomorrow is one that has become quite infamous. April 20th (or 420) is the date that Hitler was born as well.

If you have kids in school, I would not fault you if you kept them home tomorrow. Maybe teach them to watch out for themselves and develope a disaster plan on what they should do if something happens at their school or in the community. I am not saying "be scared" but just be careful tomorrow. We unfortunately find ourselves living in a crazy dangerous and violent culture.

Say a quick prayer to whatever diety you subscribe to that we dont see another mass slaying tomorrow.


Peace

2. And Iraq and Pakistan,, all in the name of the so-called "War on Terror"
.
.
.

Time to rename it properly.

The USA's global wars are part of a war OF terror . . .

Ask anyone that's lost loved ones at the hands of the USA's war "ON" terror

I think there's a few(million) people that have lost innocent relatives at the hands of the USA's War-Machine in the last decade or two - -

shouldn't be hard to find . .

3. Interesting to note, as I am reading Wally Lamb's
latest novel, "The Hour I First Believed" and it portrays what happened at Columbine that day in a lot of detail, and how one of the characters was forever scarred by almost becoming a victim. It's not just about Columbine, but it is a great novel.
