Tragic.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to say that the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords is incredibly tragic.

Regardless of political affiliation or voting record, it surprises me that conservatives in our country are being adamant about being guiltless, rather than offering support as fellow human beings. It always seems suspicious when someone's first reaction is: "It wasn't my fault."

I really hope churches don't picket the funerals of innocent bystanders who were shot and killed by a lunatic.

There's been so much violence to kickstart 2011. Here's a nod to hoping that some peace is instilled throughout the year.
