Just looking at the titles of your 2 previous posts and I'm already interested. I’ll definitely check out your blog after my exams, and perhaps become a regular reader.

In fact, I applaud you all for doing something that you feel strongly about. So, I'm hoping that you don't think that I think you all are wasting your time or anything of the sort. I am a doer. I don't like sitting around on my hands, and while I my own small voice is not able to do much, maybe, just maybe, I will incite someone who has some clout. I do. In this case, I could write, so I did. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the gravity of the situation, and I appreciate what you and the rest of those who participated in One day of silence have done. I'm sure you have affected a group of people in that way. I would like to think that I have affected a different group of people in mine. Both ways spreading the word, and generating a positive response from both fronts. That's the wonder of the internet: it's so diverse that we need all sorts of different avenues to effect the greatest amount of change. Also, thanks for the comment, and if you continue reading my blog (and I hope you will!) please don't feel the need to make sure I won't be offended by what you're saying. The wonder of blogs is the interaction with people of all races and creeds, and just because I have a different opinion on the matter than you doesn't mean that we can't get along or converse civilly. 2Perfect,

Although some people most likely follow this day of silence blindly, I would like to explain a good reason why silence is used for causes as this one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silence_Day (Read the quote at the end; Instead of living the humility, purity, and truth of his words, man has given way to hatred, greed, and violence.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_silence#Events (Read what the card says; What will you do to end the silence?) Once again, I do not wish to try to change your means of showing respect. Do what you wish to do, as long as you show respect. I myself participated in the day of silence not just for the victims of VT, but for all victims of injustice around the world. And instead of simply taking a day of silence, I have also made a post regarding what could have possibly caused such an incident (before the fact that he was mentally instable came out) and what can be done to prevent it.
