I didn't consider the alternative. My comment was expressed poorly, I think.<BR/><BR/>RandyRandy Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477703429102065294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-4857650369487839982007-04-30T06:13:00.000-07:002007-04-30T06:13:00.000-07:00Oops!

Probably not - some won't get the message, I fear.</I><BR/><BR/>I don't think just because we blog today that it means we don't get the message. I grew up in Virginia, would have gone to VaTech if I had gotten in, and <A HTML="http://cgeyer.blogspot.com/2007/04/closer-to-home-than-i-thought.html">was very close to someone who only through luck or whatever survived the day</A>. It's dominated my thoughts every day since it happened, I've cried for my friends, and personally, I don't see how a day of blogging silence helps the victims and families.<BR/><BR/>I'm not offended by the fact that others want to do it, (and don't get me wrong, I'm not offended by your statement either), I just think you should think twice before judging the motives of those of us who decide not to observe the day of blogging silence.Christina | AmiExpat.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990953167325306238noreply@blogger.com
