I do not mean to cheapen the reality of horror that must no doubt be the experience of the thousands of students at Dawson today. However, the line that stuck out to me today was from one eyewitness on the radio who said, “It was like something out of a movie.” So life imitates art or art imitates life and could it be perhaps that our perception of reality has slipped effortlessly over the threshold of sincere actual meaning into a fictionalized version of itself so as to be avoided.

Very very sad. I can't imagine some of the real pain and hurt that will come of this. The corruptness of humanityy rears its ugly head.
My heart hurts for this situation.

i think you're on to something there mr miyagi. we can fortress our schools up as much as we want to doesn't change the core problems. That's why i think it is we go and hang out at school so much - - -

although, i was not looking for a compliment it is nice to hear. I think i speak for Mark when I say that it seems strange that more people are not taking the initiative to do what we do. i couldn't think of doing youth ministry another way but...
I just think that caring about people is such a simple thing but instead most people when they hear about the kinda stuff that happened in Montreal just react in fear or anger.
