Here it is Thursday and I'm already feeling that this week has been way too long.
Not only am I extremely tired, I am feeling a little overwhelmed by the story of what happened on Monday in Virginia. I suppose that everyone is. I think this is one of the key problems with the way that media invades our home.
Last night, while channel-surfing, I came across the comments of a Rev. Franklin Graham who is counselling students at Virginia Tech. who was appearing on Nancy Grace (who, by the way is just horrible). His comment, and I quote was "And this young man that we have seen on television with this hatred and what he did, he was filled with evil. "
What?!? Did I hear that correctly? Did this guy say filled with evil!?! Is this a responsible thing for a person who is position of power and who is counselling students to say? Does this mean that all those with a mental illness are evil?
I tried not to get angry about it but felt that I just wanted to smack this so-called Christian up the side of the head... After all, it's tough enough for peole with mental illness to get accepted and now this idiot telling everyone that this type of illness is evil! In my opinion, this person shouldn't be counselling people.
That'll teach me for stopping by Nancy Grace's show.
This shooting was a terrible thing. For all of the families who lost loved ones, I offer my condolences. It is a sad thing that a person that was ill to have felt it necessary to do this. It was misguided and I feel sad for ALL involved. Including the person who did it.
I realize that this might make me unpopular but I would only hope that if I needed help that I would get it.
We all have a responsibility and I wonder if we all have to be more aware of the trouble signs when a person is in crisis. I don't know all of the facts surrounding this case and I think that I will probably turn it off. It pains me to see that this has happened once again and that people's opinions can be so misguided as the idiot reverand who was on that awful show yesterday...

I feel the same... For ALL the victims that are out there... It's a tragedy for everyone.
On a similar, or not so similar subject to Rev. Franklin Graham... Tyra had most of Fred Phelps family on her show.. and the wife or the daughter [forgot who] was saying that ALL the people from 9/11 deserved to die!?! I was like WTF. Tyra kicked them off the stage! It was just so awful to hear, and the Phelps said it with such passion and intensity... I was on the verge of tears!!!
Anyway, you'll always be popular in my book Lola! :-) Have a grand weekend.
