Two things that are on my mind:
1. Digibooks and the whole technology overload on our society.
2. The Family of 7 shot to death in L.A.
Choice number two it is.
In today's (1/28/09) Honolulu Advertiser, you can find an article about the family of 7 who were shot to death. According to the paper, the Lupoe family had been shot as a means of escape due to the fact that both Ervin and Ana Lupoe, parents of their 5 children, had recently been fired from their hospital jobs. A letter was sent to a local tv station informing them that the couple had lost their job and that they weren't going to leave their children in someone else's hands. The tv station then called the police and they too had received a phone call pertaining familiar details. Yesterday in Willmington, CA, police responded to the call to find the Lupoe family dead from gun shots to their heads. Enough with the details, I'm sure you can find the article online...
What I want to know is why? Why would anyone do that?! I've been thinking this one through and I thought I'd try to find reason.
Maybe they were just so overwhelmed with the stress that killing themselves and their family just seemed to be the best option. Maybe, just maybe they didn't want their kids to have to deal with such hardships when they got older, if, IF they were given that opportunity. Perhaps their first thought was to leave this world, just the two of them alone--and the thought of someone else caring for their children was just out of the question. Maybe they considered that there are people in this world that could harm them, nah maybe they forgot that they themselves were the number one choice when it came to anyone that could harm them.
What were they thinking damnit?!
It's official, I might have some form of reason--but logic, LOGIC is out of the question.
For the betterment of all of us, "Get help rather than resort to violence."

O B A M A, nah maybe I'll touch on that come 2012.
Maybe I'll elaborate on that one postal worker--Hull//maybe I won't.
I'd rather talk about that man who opened the emergency door on that Delta flight.
What the hell was he thinking?! Actually that's closer to home than I thought bc secretly, I've always wondered when those doors would be opened if there were no emergency. And mr. man had the balls to do it. Sure it'll probably land his donkeybutt in jail but hey--now we all know. What's up with planes these days anyway? Thank God all those people on that one flight made it out safely. I wonder what that captain was thinking before he saw the plane. Think he was busy? Think he was checking the time or thinking about a loved one? Think he was praying? I wonder, I wonder, I wonder.
Ever watch that one show on Dateline--How to Catch a Predator or something? That show truly opened my eyes. I remember when I first got my hands on all of the online instant messenger things. I wanted to go into chat rooms and talk to people all over the place! But this one night a friend and I were logged on with an account that we had just made up. This random "random" person had opened a chat box with us and started talking to us in an uncalled for sexual manner. It was that very night that I said sayonara to online chat spots. I had no business doing any of that stuff in the first place! Back to the show and how it opened my eyes--had I continued to sneak around and try to be a grown girl, who knows what kind of danger I could've wandered into. I share no sympathy for the men on that show, as a matter of fact I hope they along with all the other prickheads our there end up behind bars--those curs. I'm glad I have parents that checked on my little behind--even when I went on the computer at odd hours of the night--hello computer history. And for all those times where I got in trouble for logging on to chat rooms, if only I had received a harsher punishment. Thank you mom&pop.
Television=mass communication. Spread the word. As individuals alone, we might not be able to change the world, but together we can make a contribution to it.
