Rock bottom is no place to set up camp. Especially in the dark.
I know it's very easy to politicize the recent shooting in Connecticut... But in all honesty, we should all stop arguing. Here we should all act as brothers. We all share the same view; The shooting is a tragedy. So please, arguing over gun control will not help anybody pass a law for or against it. It will do nothing. Don't stress yourself out over it by arguing over the internet.
If you're a praying man, pray. If you're not, then keep the families affected by this terrible incident in your thoughts.
Try to be at peace for today, and take a few moments to realize what we're all lucky to have.
