Plane hits builing in Austin, TX.

I sympathized and related to the way the Columbine killers felt at one point. I never thought about doing what they did though, I just figured out how to cope and improve my situation. Kids are mean, growing up sucks, you can't escape death or taxes. Nothing justifies terrorism, I certainly hope that nobody tries to make this guy look like some misunderstood everyman. He was a psycho and a murderer.

This one stuck out.

But in recent weeks Mrs. Stack complained to her parents of an increasingly frightening anger in her husband, straining the marriage, Mr. Cook said. On Wednesday night, Mrs. Stack took her 12-year-old daughter, Margaux, to a hotel to get away from her husband.

He did commit a terrorist act, as you point out somethingfunny. No way around that. Let's hope mental health coverage and public facilities are not cut even more at state levels-but in my state they are getting the axe as I write to close the billion(s) dollar budget gap. I find this unjust and unethical but that is jmho.

Pure and simple he committed a terrorist act. NOTHING justifies what he did. NOTHING justifies Columbine. NOTHING justifies the way people treat others sometimes, but we all must learn to cope as most of us have. I just figured the people who treated me "wrong" weren't worth my time because I knew they were wrong.

Prayers going out for all those affected by this selfish act!
