From a comment thread on Feministe
"It seems like every time we turn around we’re hearing another story, and it would be a much better world if, when this sort of calamity happened, we couldn’t go “Oh fuck. Not again.” But really, the number of marauding psychos is a lot smaller than the number of, say, distracted drivers on city streets.
But if you can, think about what you’re giving up by letting the (relatively small number of) crazy people and killers make you afraid to do what you have every right to do. "*
Drink a glass of wine, kiss your kids on the forehead, even if they protest - hell, especially if they protest. Sit on the front porch and blow bubbles. Fingerpaint, eat donuts, walk to the store instead of driving, buy the good cheese, let the dog sleep on the bed.
Live your life, people. Don't let the assholes of the world get you down, because when you do?? They win. Life is too Goddamn short to live in fear and negativity.
