[White Lightening]

Sorry to here of the unrest in your area - but glad to hear they'll survive and recover. I prefer to believe there are "wack" people in all walks of life and community sizes. Post Office rampages and school rampages - its much the same.

We have too many people who think of themselves first and always - we have too many people who want to make a statement of some sort or kind. Whats important - is for every "wack" person created by drugs, mental imbalance, or attention need - there are many dozens of better people. The ratios really haven't changed much in the last several hundred years - but we have alot more people - so the "wack" people seem like bigger quantities than ever before. They come in all shapes, sizes, races, religions. Its tough to do when you live thru something like this - but I can tell you from personal experience - its always worth looking at the positive side and all the good people. Don't let the "wack" people make you different. Something positive will come from something so negative - you just don't know where or when.
