I know this is off topic, but I think many of us are still reveling from Tuesday's horrific events. Last night (Friday) I was so proud to be an American as a group of us stood outside for a 1/2 and hour with our candles lit. So many cars went by and horns blared in support. It was heartwarming. Neighbors that we never new came and joined us. At 10:00 est we had our moment of silence and then sang God Bless America. In that moment of silence I reflected on the lives lost and all those left behind and all the suffering. One of the things that I reflected on was what if we as a country did nothing.... What if violence did not respond with violence. Just a thought. It was just so peaceful to be among the glow of the candle lights. God bless us all. [Posted in FML issue 3542]
