20 years ago today, Marc Lépine murdered 14 women at École Polytechnique in Montreal.

Would you note that if I commit suicide today 89-12-06 it is not for economic reasons (for I have waited until I exhausted all my financial means, even refusing jobs) but for political reasons. Because I have decided to send the feminists, who have always ruined my life, to their Maker. For seven years life has brought me no joy and being totally blase, I have decided to put an end to those viragos.

Please consider a few moments of silence and reflextion for these women who were killed for no reason other than their gender.

* Anne-Marie Edward (born 1968), chemical engineering student

I had no idea this even happened, but I believe I was a Sophomore in HS at the time......

Tragic; my condolences. It should never have happened....

How terrible to lose all of those brilliant young women.
What's even worse is stuff like that happens all the time in the Middle East. A few years back there was a fire at a girls school. Even though the authorities were equipped to save the students, they "couldn't risk" seeing the girls without their proper covering, so they let them all burn to death.

Yes, HappyMtn. I think it's important to remember that women and children are not even second class citizens in other countries and maybe even our own.....They have no prestige or legal standing in so many. And suffer persecution, unspeakable crimes against them, torture and death. Even today, so many women and children trapped in domestic violence...it just tugs at my heart and osul.

I'm certainly going to pray for the family and friends of those listed above, but I pray everyday for the downtrodden of the world in every country....Those that are what I call the "modern heroes" who try to help these people are often victims but their efforts do not go unnoticed, of that I am sure.

I am blessed not to be one of these tormented women or children but I know that often what I consider "civilized" is not a worldwide theme. And sometimes I wonder if all the violence all over movies, music and the news doesn't just escalate the violence....

mmmm, wish I could have written with such fervor in my Philosophy class,

but alas at that age, my vision of the world was so much smaller.

Thank you for those thought and soul provoking thread and have a blessed day.
