REED CAREFULY

...to find something interesting in an ordinary place, something tragic, something funny, something beautiful...

So my friend Videsh always harps on about how this gun violence will affect you somehow...

He gets righter and righter, in a sense, I suppose... I feel terrible for the family of the girl shot dead on Yonge Street Monday afternoon, and while I only heard the shots, I guess Videsh was right... she went to Riverdale, the school I graduated from in 1998, and ran cross country, much like I did... the ripple of gun violence circles ever so closer, doesn't it Vee?

Or can it get closer? Time will tell I suppose, although I still say it's a flawed argument because it's one of those theses that you can never disprove...
