WTH humanity?

Have we gone nuts in the last two days? Yesterday just twenty miles or so from here a man walks into a 5th grade classroom and knifes his estranged wife to death. I got that alert at school because i have students who have kids in that grade school and had to send them home.

Today in another school in LA a girl shots two and herself.

And in a suburb of St Louis a disgruntled man goes into the city hall and kills six and himself.


wow. And still oddly enough I'm not sure the world is really any more violent than it ever has been. We just KNOW about it instantly.

Sigh

My mom's best friend's mother (grandma to Ms Prejudice who is just as appalled by her at times as I am) went into the hospital (first time ever outside of childbirth and she's like 85) to have a nodule tested. First off, her doctor says yeah it's been there for 4 years which was news to them. No one had ever told her. He wasn't worried, figured it was calicum.

Yeah, right. it's cancer. If they don't sue him....

And the other 'cousin' friend of the family with the stomach cancer massively stroked two days ago. I'll be surprised if she survives the month.

How about some good news?
