Words can not express
sorrow of this magnitude
but they're all we have.
I will now move on. I leave with you this plea. I implore you to remember the benefit of hindsight. I implore you to not seek blame with the living, but with the dead killer who, with our benefit of hindsight, we know had elaborate plans. I implore you to not embrace the knee-jerk reactionary mob mentality which tends to grip our society when tragedies like these occur.
But above all, I implore you to think for yourself, even if that leads you to conclusions that disagree with me.
To steal a farewell line: Good night, and good luck.
The trials, tribulations, ramblings, and adventures of a renaissance techno-warrior. Life, pop culture, lunacy, CSFYB probably has something for you somewhere within.
i completely agree with you. the advantage of hindsight is that it is 20/20. all we have left is to take the lessons we have learned & carry them forward.
