How sad, and yet how predictable given similar recent events. Who is to blame? Our culture! This is a new normal, and it is not the blame of politics, religion (or lack of religion). Can we blame violent games or movies? Perhaps. But then again it still comes back to the changes in our culture of which games and movies is only a microcosm of our total culture. I won't blame the President, Congress, or the Supreme court, church leaders, teachers.
We, in the U.S. have evolved to this point where we do not protest 40,000 auto deaths every year or 11,000 gun murders per year. Having progressed to this point with a history of Auora, Columbine, and all the others and now Newtown; we will grieve for a few days for these precious lives lost, but then we must get on with the fiscal cliff debacle-- until the next Newtown. How sad.
