My nephew Seth's wife Larissa works in that school district as a roving teacher trainer. She often works at that school. Fortunately for us she was still home this morning at 7 am so my nephew was with her when the news came on TV so at least he was spared the anxiety. She was not, in any case, scheduled to go to that school today. Can't imagine anything more tragic or traumatic tham what the students, parents and faculty are going through right now.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
