Virginia Tech Massacre: When Will America Take Notice?
By now, the world has heard about the 30+ killings which occurred on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia yesterday. There is no reason to be shocked, folks. We saw this before with 9/11, Columbine, and we’ll see it again in the future. What appears to be a senseless and violent act is in fact a wake up call:
We need to change our ways, America.
It seems each time a tragedy strikes our country, we simply sweep things under a rug and go on about our usual lives. We make no effort to understand the implications of the act and our contribution to them — Yes, we are indirectly responsible for what goes on in our country. It seems that in America, the only time we decide “do anything” is when tragedy strikes close to home. Until then, we don’t really care about what happens.
This latest tragedy is — yet again — another opportunity for us to assess our lives and standards of living. I needn’t go into details about what is wrong in our country — we already know, and it starts with you.
