There is a legitimate need, I believe, to speak out regarding mental illness and against yesterday's violence, and there will be much discussion about it in the days and weeks ahead. I personally support the idea of marking the terrible events that took place by pausing to reflect on the loss of life. Thank you, nonetheless, for sharing your opinion.

Some people are trying to make you believe that we should all observe one day of silence, no blogging and entire day because of what happened in Virginia. Even if the cause seems to sound noble I have to urge the the people of the cyberworld to walk away from this and not let yourselves be deceived by those people. Silence is already present in our daily life. People don't talk to each other, we are, most of us afraid of showing our feelings to the world around us. People don't talk about mental disease, it's just not something you can talk about neither do people talk about suicide! I urge you to, not add an other day of silence in your life. Silence is easy, talking is hard. You want to pay your respect to the victims of Virginia? the victims of violence all around the world? I beg you, don't go running to the easy option, one that will not, in no way at all, make this kind of violence drop. On April 30th 2007 I beg of you, for once in your life, TALK about it! hear me, I beg!
