"Probably like many of you, I watched the news this weekend over and over again, horrified by the shooting in Tucson. I&amp;#039;m not a political or news blogger, but anything else that I had to say today just seems too trivial compared to the tragedy of gunning people down in cold blood. I can see the faces of the victims, and that of the assassin&amp;#039;s target, Gabrielle Giffords, smiling, alive, vital. And it&amp;#039;s hard to continue with everyday life when innocent people have lost theirs or are fighting to survive. I was also horrified by another shooting in my state just before the holidays. A young mother was strapping her two-year-old into the carseat. She&amp;#039;d just done some holiday shopping in a local mall when several men opened fire in a barbership nearby. A stray bullet hit the woman who died slumped over her toddler. Closer to home, several months ago, there were posters in my neighborhood of a man who had been killed on his 35th birthday. He and his fianc\u00A9 were walking home to their apartment when they were mugged. The man had come to his fianc\u00A9&amp;#039;s defense when a gun was pointed at her face. He was shot several times, and his friends had postered neighborhoods far and wide looking for information about his killers. I&amp;#039;m sure there are similar incidents where you live reader: brutal, senseless shootings that take the lives of innocent people. I wish it were not so. What would it be like to live in a world where there wasn&amp;#039;t such violence? Sadly, I don&amp;#039;t know, but I hope that in the not-too-distant-future my grandchildren might.
