Thank goodness for youth leading the way to a better future

This idea is world wide. They are not being dragged down by their parent’s politics.

The response of the Virginia Tech Hokies in general is to go forward, as in life must go on in spite of the wacko killing 32 students and professors. This is so admirable given the terrible massacre the wacko did. And it is more admirable because it ignores or just tolerates the media’s exploitation and over coverage of the tragedy for their purposes, mostly financial income in the end. The media types are fellow Americans, but the most base and crass career driven instincts of them have rendered their coverage inconsequential, embarrassing to themselves, and another notch in the decline of American media in general, and 24/7 types specifically. They chose their job and career choice, now let them live with it. And where do they find these pundits and “experts” who fill their 24/7 time, repeated of course. None speak as well as the Hokies themselves.

Today 178 people (that latest count) died in Iraq in 4 suicide bombings just for going out in public, and shopping to boot. By virtue of numbers alone, this is so terrible. By any means the killings were ordered and done by old people pursuing their political goals, to include foreign goals in Iraq, and probably sectarian goals in Iraq. Does anyone think the old people did the deeds? No, they took advantage of the young people being willing to kill themselves in pursuit of their and their seniors political goals. This is wacko in another way, but it is wacko. The only obvious American question is why the seniors are not willing to die for the cause they send their young people to die for? The obvious answer is that they are not as stupid as those who listen to them. This infers the young people who do the suicide attacks are stupid. It appears the world is full of these type young people.

Back to go Hokies. They come across as representing the best combination of tolerance and common sense as they go through their lives. In the new days, we Americans will see this be applied to their future when the media finally gets out of the campus. Life is pretty much about campus life, surviving, and graduating in the end. None will be silly enough to become suicidal bombers to advance their seniors causes. Most will have families and children and lead us into the future, their future, and our US and world future.
