News: Spring madness

There always seems to be a strange level of synchronicity in the multiple-murders these days. At a mall in Salt Lake City and an investors' meeting in Philly, two killers demonstrated their selfishness and cold-blooded brutality before eventually dying.

While police are still trying to puzzle out the motive of the mall shooter, the marketing-company murders were probably driven by plain old hatred, greed, and depression. I don't think I'll ever be able to understand these maniacs, much less comprehend the depth of grief suffered by those affected by the consequences of their senseless actions.

My somber condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims.
