One Day Blog Silence
I have had nothing to say on my blog about the tragedy at Virginia Tech because I have nothing to add. I grieve with the families and friends, and I identify with them as a fellow human, a fellow American, and someone who is part of academia. Like everyone else, I cannot understand how someone could do this. But unlike a number of people on radio and in blogs, I will not cheapen the deaths of those innocent people by turning it into an opportunity for criticism or a time to push a particular political agenda.
I just learned that some people have suggested a one day blogging silence on April 30 in honor of those who were killed. Although it is only a small gesture, I will be participating in that silence. I ask those of you who read this blog to please refrain from posting comments on that day.
May God grant eternal rest to those who were killed and His comfort and grace to their families and friends.
