What is the world coming to?

So I was surfing the net this afternoon and found this: Virginia Tech. I read this freaking article and I was shocked. Who would freaking behead someone for no good reason? I just don't get it. Then I find out tonight that there was a shooting at the University of Louisville where megg goes to school. How is it that people can be so desperate or crazy enough to take it out on other people in such violent ways?

After I read that I then found this article: Adolph Hitler. I honestly thought that this article was a complete joke at first. Then I read it and was stunned at this woman's audacity. She named her son Adolph Hitler. How twisted is that. She also put crazy german 3rd riech-ish names in her daughters name like Aryan Nation? Then come to find out these children have been taken away from their mom on the grounds of accused abuse. Well I think naming her kids with the crazy names like this is abuse enough.

Then I read this article: Segregation. Now did you know that schools were still segregated? I definately didn't. I thought that for the most part we were desegragated. I mean we aren't in the 60s anymore. But the thing is that as much as we do say that we are desegragated we aren't. As the article says we segregate by demographics and residence. Now the catch is that there really isn't anything that we can do for the residence portion because if the families that live in the poorer neighborhoods probably can't afford to send their kids to the other school districts in the area. I know that in Canton Ohio that if you live in one district and want your child to go to a school in another district you have to pay tuition to do that. Another thing is that desegragation isn't properly policed or enforced. So whether we want it or not it is just happening.

Man today was just full of interesting stories. I don't know what is going on in the world.
