Tucson & Lepage #4

I do agree with Katie that the shooting was a tradgedy. On the other hand would any of this have happened if he did not have a gun? Gun control has always been a dispute over the years. Guns do not kill people people kill people. A mind is very fragile and is unique, but I am not saying that this man is a great man because he is not but there has to be something that triggered him to go off the deep end. Maybe what he thought unconsciously was coming to the surface and realization is out of grip. In todays world actions do define people but not many look at all the other factors behind those actions. Many people were hurt by this tradgedy but will our country dwell on these faults or constantly change to the new environment which it has created. Our constitution is set up to make the citizens which reside in this country in control and able to change there environment they are in. Is it change that we need for the better or use our survival instincts to over come and accept and adapt to our environment? To many this looks like an incident which is going to be hard to get over. The strongest do rise when others cannot and that is when change occurs.

Lepage our new Govenor of Maine. I agree with Katie again that his reaction was a little over the top and childish. I do not believe kiss my butt was a good reaction at all but for everyone else to judge Maine because of his reaction is completely wrong. Martin Luther King day is a day of celebration of people coming together and acting as one and no segragation of race, culture, or even different opinions. The govenor should have said no I will not be attending because of  some business I have to take care of or something more professional. Lepage has lost my support because that is not someone I want running Maine and representing us. Martin Luther King Day is not only for black people it is for everyone to notice that change can occur but everyone goes through tough times to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hope is around us all. I do believe in second chances and learning new things and forgiveness is a great thing to learn. Our govenor I believe was just demonstrating his feelings. The comment was not acceptable but you dont see many people in the media showing his side of the story and why he feels the way he does. Incident like this happen all the time why do we single people out just because they think differently. Everyone is brought up to think inside the box which are full of obligations and moral values. Sometimes it takes one great person to make a change and that is what Martin Luther King Jr. did he made a change and his voice was heard. He had struggles as well. Lepage overall should have worded things different but isnt life about second chances or is that just what everyone is brought up to think. Everything is confusing because almost everything contridicts itself.
