Time to Restrain Our Opinions

When we see a tragic event such as this morning’s shootings at Virginia Tech, I think there is way too much talking about it.

There are maybe 10 or 12 salient facts about the event that are helpful for all of us to know. Beyond that, most is noisy yakking. Opinions, opinions, everywhere.

Everyone has plenty to say, but who is listening?

I vote for some quiet, reflection, and thought. And listening, especially to those directly devastated by this.
