Know that we are so sorry for the tradegy in Tucson, Arizona. What makes people (youngsters at that) do such awful things is beyond us. We offer our sincere sympathy to the families and friends of those who have lost loved ones. We offer comfort in prayer and hope that one day these terrible incidents will cease.

What truly breaks my heart is the little 9 year old girl who died. My little one is 8. It really hits home. God bless all those injured or who have passed. Cry

Our astrologer lady from Canada in another web site I go to... says that the 9 year old was born on 911..and the some of the people she has looked into also had connotations of factors that she said seemed to fit in with such an sad event astrologically..it was very almost remenescent in some ways with JFK being gunned down also. She was doing her first "politicans on the corner" event to try to bring people and their problems into focus in her political arena out on an open street corner...and I now see why here in Oregon the politicans were in an buzz...as we have an weekly TV program that discusses issues with people...out in the open .....I think it's called "Town Hall"..in an informal  meeting type situation also.. but at an TV studio setting. It's sad, because they said she was not an radical type politician..and what are people saying about her assaliant...that he was probably the workings of an "mind control" experiment dueto us losing so many fish and birds over here recently...most mysteriously by the thousands. Not many people are buying that it was not some kind of outside influence besides just the weather...or as we were told "fireworks" esp..no one is buying that one at all. I did notice we had on Jan 2 an Gamma Ray burst reported though...there were people reporting something akin to one of them also when the great quake happened in 2004 in Sumutra, Indonesia...and they to at that time felt it was some kind of Government/military influence. We use to know when HARRP was operating..no more since its been bought out by others. I think it needs reported though...and watched by the public sector also. To much corruption going on these days not to have an open door policy at times.

Well, Sue, the intial "shock" of it has to kind of take place when this kind of thing happens..seems so sensless. See why I am not real keen about going into the city at all these days...but we also had 3 people dunned down around this area recently also...so no one is immune and it really needs stopped..and it has to come from those that would do such an thing to begin with...I wonder if there are any techiniques to clear one's mind of nasty thoughts...maybe meditation or something on peaceful thoughts...I asked an doctor what was best to reduce stress in your life..he said...take the day off...and I laughed..he said...honestly....doctors go do an round out on the golf course...they don't have to put up with constant emotional harrassments like most people on the daily work grind of everyday.I do think "nature" has an calming influence.

so sad! This demented individual (and others like him), who think they have a right to end the lives of others just because there own little life is so blinkered, miserable and unimportant. I hope the congress women pulls through, she was only trying to change the lives for the better of others in need. Too late, I'm afraid for those poor souls that died also. Its rather like the John Lennon shooting, some miserable individual decides his life needs 15 minutes of fame, so ends the lives of others. Hope he isnt the fanatical right-wing puppet, as was those that took out Kennedy.

It's a shame no one picked up on the things he had posted on line, things he said that should have been red flags that he was planning something horrific, until after it was too late.  My prayers go out for all the families involved, and for him as well.
