i have no clue.  just thought your reaction was amusing.  it's good to know all it takes these days to be labeled MA is saying you're old, or, they're talking about video games.  thin fuse these days

[General_Failure]

Like his thinning hair. Because he's old.

These last few pages have been outstanding, especially Matt's (least surprising ever) revelation that he built bombs as a kid.

i was actually supposed to be in birmingham for a meeting yesterday and it got postponed like a week ago. maybe cnn will call me.

i watched the news for like 15 minutes this morning and the only interviews i saw about the CT shootings were with columbine survivors and some teacher who has off on fridays and wasn't even there.

That's because everyone else was shot.

Medical examiner confirms that the main weapon used in the killing was the rifle

I'm amused in a cant look away at the car wreck way at the news coverage now. They're interviewing anyone they can get a hold of and bringing in experts to yap about dumb shtein

Too many news stations on the ground there.

They'll say it's a problem with guns.
They'll say it's a problem with crime.
They'll say it's a problem with schools.
They'll say it's a problem with parenting.
They'll come up with so many people, things, organizations, rules, laws, and policies to blame for what happened today at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
Personally, I believe there is only one to blame for this: the empty human heart. The one to blame is a life lived without meaning, without purpose, without moral absolutes... without a Savior.
I don't mean to offend, but my heart is breaking. We live in a world where it is more socially acceptable to ignore God or deny His existence rather than acknowledge Him, and then we are surprised when we see evil committed. Yes, evil. That's what people will call it, and that's exactly what it is. I doubt many would argue against that.
But how can we define evil if not by comparison to it's opposite: justice, holiness, and love – three major attributes of God? We readily and quickly recognize evil for what it is, so why do we not recognize God for who He is just as easily? Why would we *choose* to live a life where evil is prevalent and effects us every day (as it seems to do)? Why would we choose that, yet turn away from the One who offers love and justice, and wants to *save* us from evil? That seems backwards, doesn't it? We choose darkness and mistakenly see it as freedom, when in reality, freedom only comes through perfect truth, which can only come by a perfect being.

John 3:19 = "And the judgment is based on this fact: God's light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil."

The actions today were most certainly, evil. But you can choose The Light.
