Now one can argue you'd have to be crazy to go on a killing spree in the first place, but hatred is not crazy imo.

There are too many horrible things happening in the world today. I would definitely like to go without any news, except for the weather report. If anyone thinks that's hiding my head in the sand, then so be it. I have no control over what goes on elsewhere in the world. Hell, I have no control over what goes on in my own home most of the time. It is too hard seeing the news when it's mostly bad and nothing I can do about it. We have to choose our battles, because we can't fight them all. I prefer to think of the vast majority of people who are good and decent and kind. I see the faces of the people who died in that horrific incident in South Carolina and I see so much good in them. I see the face of the guy who did it, and I see nothing much at all. He may be an arsehole but, more likely, he is seriously mentally ill and not enough is being done to help people with mental illnesses, because it just isn't sexy enough and there's no return on investment, is there. There are no easy fixes and no one to look like a hero for figuring it out. And it's too easy for people, including arsholes, to get guns. I'm sorry for your loss, the music world's loss, with Harold Batiste. May he rest in peace. Too many good people are leaving us, but there are still many good people in this world. - - ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Paz To: Lori Renee Fye Cc: Joni List Sent: Friday, June 19, 2015 7:05 PM Subject: Re: I'm done Come on now Lori lighten up. Just delete delete delete. I continue to live in the south amongst bigots, and other assholes and people with rebel flags on their bumpers but that kinda horror can happen anywhere on earth and the south does not have a corner on the market for whack jobs. And keep the tv off as well. And might I suggest a stiff very cold martini up.... Great idea Paz and off I go... Sending up my prayers..... for all kinds of reasons...And rest in peace Harold Batiste who went home today Love Paz On Jun 19, 2015, at 3:01 PM, Lori Renee Fye wrote: See ya.
