For all of those who have died over the past few days.
And for all of those who died because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Over the past two days there have been two shootings. And I completely agree with the news, Americans are addicted to violence. This generation is desensitized to violence, and it really is sad. Everyday there are TV shows that focus on violence and death, and the big screen is even worse. I don't understand by violence is so acceptable on TV or in the movies. Things like death and violence are all over the news too, there are no way we can look past it. I understand that it's a part of life, but I think we need to do something about censoring it. I think if we found a way to block the large amount of violence from our youth we wouldn't have these shootings. I'm not saying that they should never show it, because as I said before it's a part of life, I just think we need relax about it.
Update: I just saw on the news that a ten year old boy shot his father. Since he's ten and in a certain part of Texas there is no way he will be tried as an adult. They're calming that he didn't know what he was doing. In this day and age, I don't think any ten year old doesn't know the effects of a gun. The women on the news keep saying that he didn't know what he was doing. That's a lie. After listening to the 911 call, I will admit that he wasn't fully aware that he just killed his dad. That is completely understandable, he's ten, you can't expect him to fulling understand that he just killed someone. But I do not believe that he was unaware of what he was planing to do. He planed to shot his dad, and he knew it was wrong. You know how I know that? He put the gun back in the gun case. I think if I shot someone, I'd be freaking out and just drop the gun. Not take the time to put it away. Call me heartless, but I think he should be tried as an adult. I believe he was fully aware of what he was planning to do.
Alright, here is an update for this morning. I didn't have my meeting with the principle, not sure why. Hopefully they don't plan it for Monday, since that Senior Jip day. Sort of excited that I have more time now, so I can go and look stuff up and have something prepared to talk about. I want to do everything I can to help future vegetarians at my school. Speaking of future students, me and Courtney were talking about a book club, and I think that would be a lot of fun to start. I don't know how I could start that, but I don't think we could get people involved. I got a new book today too. Skinny Bitch. I wouldn't mind dropping a few pounds, but I got it because it has a lot to say about diets and vegetarianism. I know a lot about vegetarianism, but I love to learn.
