Current Event

All the talk today has been of Osama Bin Laden's death.


It's been posted all over Facebook, talked about in the staff lounge and topic of Justin and my dinner conversation. When Justin declared his excitement and asked if I was just as thrilled as him that we shot him down my thoughts were simple, but most eloquently said by Martin Luther King, Jr.....

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."


--Martin Luther King, Jr.

SO glad to hear I am not the only one that feels just like that! I watched the news last night and thought "really?".
