Paradise Lost03:07 PM
During my local travels, a few years ago I'd spent a bit of time in Lancaster proper (and only drove through *Paradise*) and was very charmed by the Amish's simple lifestyle, and admired with great respect their steadfast ways which adhere to living peacefully. It is not a lifestyle I could easily embrace for myself since I love having all mod cons. But now, the County of Lancaster will never be the same again. Not after what took place this morning. I am filled with sorrow having read: The gunman, a truck driver identified as Charles Carl Roberts IV, 32, entered Wolf Rock School in Paradise, Pennsylvania, just after 10.30am brandishing a handgun and automatic shotgun. Innocent victims of "the corruption of the outside world" I found this part as the most saddening - an unique glimpse of a rare example of the loss of innocence:
In my opinion, there is not much left in the way of pure innocence in this world to-day...And to-day someone in my country - America, The Beautiful - may have just destroyed what could have been its last capsule of innocence.

No place is safe...not even my spread in the middle of Texas...far away from urban Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston but now simply vulnerable too...
