Catching Idle Butterflies

[Censored]

I specifically set out to NOT write about this. Too much has been said already. I can't do anything about it, because I don't live close, nor do I know anyone involved. But I got to now, because the media is pissing me off.

For one, they keep drooling over every smidgeon of news that comes out of there, the [censored] vultures. And likewise we keep slurping up every dreg of the story they tear off the carcass.

But what infuriates me more than anything is how the news media keeps finding something to blame other than – get this, it will shock you – the man Cho Seung-Hui himself!!!

For instance the latest news out today is entitled "Va. Tech shooter was laughed at" (see http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070419/ap_on_re_us/virginia_tech_shooting_287 ). Well, waah [censored] waah!

News of all news, folks, that puppy wasn't alone! Who reading this was never laughed at in school, or mercilessly teased at least once in your life? I was. Hell, even my own family made my life miserable at times.

And guess what, I didn't go on a shooting rampage because of it. No, I sucked it up, I endured, as did you, and I bet you're a stronger person because of it. I know I am.

Life's tough. No one said it wouldn't be. To expect anything different, sweetheart, you have a rude awakening on your hands.

Cho Seung-Hui was a sick man, and for whatever "reason", he made a choice. No one forced him to do anything, and he's the only person on this planet who should take responsibility for it.
