Sigh. I'm glad you guys are safe and feeling so badly for the friends and families of the people killed. I feel for any student in that area, and any student world wide who is going through the whole scenerio of, 'Holy ****, what if this happens again, it could happen to me.' The scary truth is that any nut with a gun could walk into any school, high school or college, grocery store, day care, church today and waste lives in large quantities. I really don't know how to deal with that as individuals or a society. I worry that the more it happens, and the more the media goes nutz exploiting it all, pointing out 'flaws' in the system, etc.....the more nutz that are going to think about this and realize its so easy to do.
I guess it is in situations like this where having some kind of faith is critical. I'm not a religious person myself (or at least not of any organized religion) but I know that you have to some how find peace with the fact that we can't control jack crap in this world. Hug your families often and tell them how you feel every day because I bet not 1 of those families affect thought they'd never see their loved ones again.
*hugs*
