the Virginia Tech massacre

The problem is not the need for more gun control! Granted, the world is a better place without most college students toting firearms. Yet the real problem is the fraying of our moral fabric and the corrosive influence of Hollywood, video games, and just plain selfishness. Regarding Hollywood and video games, is it any wonder that kids growing up shooting hundreds of people a day in a virtual setting might decide to make it real? Regarding selfishness, what if more people would have stepped in when they saw this young man in trouble? We are not just isolated individuals: we are a community of souls who need one another. God grant us healing, mercy and wisdom.
