Cornell offered vigil for Virginia Tech at the Sage Chapel today (April 19, 2007)http://www.cornell.edu/video/viewer/VigilForVT.html
Read Prof Ridwan Laher's blog on this tragedy at http://ridwanlaher.blogspot.com/ and Bob Geldof 's response to the 1979 shooting in the YouTube clip is a must watch.
Thanks Ridwan, for this interesting write-up.
I hope someone somewhere will do something about the gun law/fear culture in the US (also elsewhere).We need a lot of work on instilling culture of love and compassion.The girl of the 1979 shooting was a victim of sexual abuse (by her father.She asked for a radio as a gift, her dad gave her a gun.She said it's because he wanted her to shoot herself...see links in Ridwan's blog)
