Virginia Tech Killings
The news has, of course, been horrid this week. The killing of the 33 people at Virginia Tech is a terrible, violent, and tragic event. Why is it, then, that it doesn't seem that people (myself included) are as shocked about this as we were eight years ago when the Columbine shootings occured? Have we as people and a society become so de-sensitized from all the killings everywhere, the war in Iraq...that this sort of massacre isn't shocking to us anymore? How terrible if so. It makes me sad for the state of our society.

Agreed Ken. We are more "connected" than ever as a society with the internet and instant information, but so much less emotionally connected.
