		<description>A day of silence can be good for some as one can consider and think to speak constructivly the next day and help stop similar atrocities occuring again.



Its also good that you&#039;re providing the alternative and facilitating a place where people can come together.</description>

		<description>Thank you for your long form letter, Edgar. Try a closer reading next time, though. I&#039;m not pimping the day of silence: I&#039;m offering an alternative.</description>

		<description>It’s not one day of silence that pains me,

It’s the eternity of it.



Honoring the dead, I understand,



Inaction to prevent this from happening again disgust me.



You really wonder why this happened and why it will happen again?

What will you be doing in between?

What will all the silent ones be doing in between?



How about, after your day of silence, honoring all of the dead, so many of them by taking actions? Did you ever wrote a letter to your congressman stressing that something should be done? That mentally ill children’s should not have such an easy access to firearms?



I was in fury when I read that the people surrending the shooter were absolutely not surprise that it was he who killed so many, yet teachers, student and so many more chose to be blind at the sight of despair, chose to not act and they waited and waited until it finally exploded and it was too late.



In a society where people refuse to engage in conversation about mental illness and suicide this, sadly, will happen again and again.



Turn off your TV and think for a second, you really believe that a broken heart kills so many innocent? If you are still wondering let me give you the answer, NO it doesn’t. The shooter was mentally ill and no one did a thing about it because, we the people, refuse to see it and that is what I am against!



People will mourn for one day and them go on with their life still wondering why such a thing can happen and patiently wait until the next massacre.



Not changing subject, but moving on..



The evil empire of the NRA “seriously” proposed that student should be armed in school so, when the next shooter comes to them they will be able to defend themselves. More guns?!



Who is to stop them? The silent mourning majority?



It is so much easier to find excuse not to do something them to actually act and that is what I am against!



I really hope that your day of silence will not go unheard but I have doubts..



Wishing you the best! You are a good person most of you are but the good people need to speak up from time to time!</description>

		<description>it is a good idea. I am not sure what I will do.



I am angry by how much attention the shooter is getting. His is the image we will all ultimately remember, his is the name which will be burned into our brains, and I am concerned that his are the actions which some disturbed, suicidal people may want to emulate.</description>
