Chicago88, you are not alone in your thinking. Everywhere I turn this morning I'm reading and hearing "stop the vitriol! we are sick of it." Many share your sentiments, that the horrible inflammatory language and verbal attacks affect everyone and that this possibly played a part in yesterday's events. Perhaps this horrific event will, in a way, serve a purpose. I don't hold out much hope, but then, I'm grieving and not thinking rationally. The sun is shining, it's a perfect day, and my heart is heavy.
