Okay, let me just tell you that I woke up this morning, because my mom came in my room to tell me that someone had flown their plane into the IRS building in Austin. When she told me where, I knew that my friends were okay, because none of them are in that area. After making my lemonade and taking my walk, I sat down and turned on CNN to follow the story...Only to find that surprisingly, we weren't following the story in Austin; we were following Tiger Woods. Seriously? SERIOUSLY people? Someone flew a plane into a building and you are opting to follow Tiger Woods!
So I went to CNN online and read up on the story. If you haven't read the letter, I fully encourage you to. It is 6 pages long and will take up a tad bit of your time, but it's true. It's all true. And the unfortunate thing is that nothing will change. He spent his whole life trying to change things and nothing happened. The scariest people are those who feel like no one cares about them and that they have nothing to lose.
I'm not saying for a second that I condone this man's behavior. I am saying that I am so sorry that our country failed him so badly and so many times, that he felt that he had no choice but to crash his plane into a government building. Our country is what it is and unfortunately, because of the people who run it, it will not change. But do read what he said. It was very intelligent and well thought out. I just wish innocent people didn't have to die for him to be heard.
