Remembrance

On this day in history, there are two massive events that have lasting effects that are still being felt today.
I would like everyone to keep in their minds those who have lost their lives in the tragedies of the Columbine shooting spree and the British Petroleum Oil Geyser the erupted in the Gulf of Mexico.  I also want everyone to remember the families of those that lost their lives.  Even though the Columbine shooting spree occurred over a decade ago, one of the major effects that went in place throughout the US was permanent security in high schools and colleges.  In the British Petroleum Oil Geyser, there were so many problems that occurred that BP should be held accountable for.  They ended up losing almost nothing and fishermen and all of the economies around the Gulf of Mexico are still hurting to this day.

I guess this is my way of pleading to everyone to keep those people in your minds.  Not just on anniversaries, but actually think of them and those that have lost there lives in other tragedies.  Especially here in America, we focus on something in the news, and when the event starts to slow, we focus our attention on something else, like the 'Royal Wedding' in England.  We also look at celebrities and try to make our lives like theirs, as if we want to be them.  I urge everyone to focus on what is really important.
