[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 2020917, member: 4319"] Why did I open the thread? Because I left for a kayak trip before sunrise on Friday morning, and when I came home and surfed the internet I hadn't the foggiest fawk who Adam Lanza was. The only news I'd heard regarding the shooting until yesterday evening was a text message that popped up on my phone when we drove back into cell service that alluded to a 'big school shooting back east". Why did I post? To see what my thoughts look like in print. All I initially said was I was at a loss for words re: this shooting, something that has been said in some way or another by many people in recent days. You asked why I typed that and I gave you somewhat of answer. Worth what you paid for it. Actually you asked a snarky rhetorical question and I gave a snarky answer - you knew I wasn't implying we should not have an open dialogue about the underlying issues. Yet that's what you implied, so I took that side in a roundabout way for the benefit of advancing your discussion in the way you steered it. I'm not meaning to denigrate anyone anymore than you are meaning to denigrate me. And with that, I'll close with the antithesis to your emoticon of choice. :) [/QUOTE]
