Funny (or not at all funny, really), but not too long ago I commented under someone's post about yet another school shooting, how much it destroys me that we have not done anything after all this time to protect our children by banning assault weapons in this country. And someone commented that I should move to China.

It's amazing to me how nasty people can be on the internet. We are not going to agree on everything, but if I read a comment and can tell someone is expressing genuine anguish, my very last impulse is to lash out, or say something snarky, obnoxious or sarcastic. I can certainly be sarcastic, but I would not do that in response to a person's genuine sorrow.
Anyway, I don't know, there are moments when I feel so much hope because human beings can be so incredible, brilliant, kind, inspired, and compassionate, and times I despair because they can be so cruel and violent. I hope for all of our sakes our better natures prevail, but I'd really like for us to hurry up and move in that direction!
