Boston Marathon Bombing

What are you going to do? Tragic destruction today at the Boston Marathon, hundreds of thousands of people gathered for the race and a general good time supporting family and/or friends. Cheering on those who train so hard to run and finish 26 miles of running - then someone with or without others decides this is how they'll make a statement about whatever it is on their agenda. With only the rehashed statements from politicians and talking heads I'm of a mind that this was done by a "local" element, not the standard boogieman terrorists. Will this be the beginning of the end of American society - that eventually we won't be able to gather without a shakedown of what we carry with us and not being allowed to gather in groups of 3 or more "for our own safety"? I hope not. In spite of what happen on 9/11 I still climb eagerly onto an airplane to take me away, join with a crowd at a hockey game, wander through festive city streets. Maybe I'm daffy but I want to get around and not worry that some great tragic event will befall me and should have just stayed home and watched the sky fall from my window.
