As you know, the US experienced it's worst mass-killing in it's history last Monday, and a college campus non the less. Regardless of where you stand on gun control, mental illness, or a whole array of issue this brings to light (Certain Psycho's are not appreciative of his being labeled a Psychopath this early off...), we can all agree this was a senseless act by a senseless individual.

I know we have a number of college kids here, and a few more that are preparing to head off to college. I would appreciate it if we held our own virtual candle light vigil. If you need a candle, they are for sale in the Desert Oasis of the Southern Frontier, and if you need money, I will be happy to buy one for you.

So, I light first candle in rememberance of those who died last monday.

The only thing which surpasses humanity's capacity for destruction is it's capacity for kindness, but only we reach out to claim it.

For those who were lost a short time ago,
For those who will be lost in the future,
For all those who were left behind,
And all those who will never be,

I light this candle, for thee.

Embri sets her candle down carefully on the ground, and brushes the wick with her flaming tail.

"Words are insufficient to express what I feel. A great sadness, confusion, the desire to ask "why?" There are no easy answers, to why human turns on human, why someone chooses to harm someone else."

Zha'hai'allav'a, spirit travellers. Wind beneath thy wings.

I quite simply don't know what to say. A tragic event indeed...

As soon as I make the space in my inventory, I'll be sure to light a candle.

I know it's not much, but it's good to pay any kind of respect in light of this incident.
