I fretted all day about how the Oprah show was going to come out. Oprah is like a god to many people - whatever she says is the truth, the end.
She went to Colorado live today to speak about the high school assault, and I thought for sure it was going to be the end if/when she bashed guns and got all her followers on the bandwagon. I was just cringing, waiting for all the emotional moms to jump up and start ranting about guns being to blame.
No such thing.
Oprah spoke to a psychologist about the whole issue, and he and she both agreed that our society is violence based in all age groups and that we need to "disarm the heart", NOT disarm America. They agreed that getting rid of guns would do no good, we need to change the way people solve their problems. They stated that even if we got rid of guns, it would not change anything because the violence would still be in people's hearts.
Oprah even said : "Some people are saying that we need to put these locks on guns, but I don't see how that has anything to do with it....that would not solve a thing and has nothing to do with what happened".
I was slack-jawed.
There still ARE people that have some "common sense" in this country.
Whew! I am relieved.
