The truth is that I DO consider an unfortunately small but certain number of people to be heroes-- my heroes, if you will; and you are at the top of my list Qrs.. and you're there too Rhiannon. Thanks for the thanks and (oc) ALL you've done and do, &c.

I realize the greatest truth is derived from heartbreak. Nothing can make a person stand up and listen to others around them so intensely than loss.

That's unfortunate and that is the way it is.

I certainly don't feel like a hero...and I am flattered you think so. How thoughtful of you. :-D

The way I know it - the way it really is: All of us, until we have crossed over that line to utter evil without remorse - all of us are heroes.

That is the reality hidden from us.

And so I have to wonder.....

What's going to happen in April 2008?

April 16, 2007 - VA Tech Massacre

Crazed lunatic kills two students in the early hours of the morning and then goes across the campus of VA Tech to kill 30 more students and wound nearly 30 more.
