Legal Issues

Hey guys, I'm handing over today's post to Roni Loren, guest blogger over at Pub Rants.  Go check this article out before you hit your Pintrest, post another blog, or even make a meme at Very Demotivational.  You might just avoid a law suit because of it.  You can find the post here.  (Thanks to MaryAnn for the heads up about this one.)

And before I sign off, I just want to put in a plug for a cause very near to my heart right now.  I'll start by saying I'm sorry all my posts are so dark lately.  I guess Colorado is having a tough year.

You might have heard about the tragedy that took place on opening night for Batman The Dark Knight Rises.  Twelve people were shot and killed, while another fifty nine were injured in a shooting that took place inside a theater in Aurora, Colorado.

I've been to that theater.  I knew some of the people at that screening.  One friend on Facebook posted that while she and her family were not hurt, the man sitting behind her was killed.  For me, this is hard to fathom.  It's worse when you hear the stories of the people that lost their lives.  One man died on his twenty-seventh birthday.  Another died shielding his girlfriend from the killer.  The worst was the death of a six year old girl.  I can't begin to process so much chaos and sadness.  I can't comprehend the mentality of anyone willing to inflict this kind of devastation.

It's like Alfred said in The Dark Knight: 

"Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."

So if you go see Batman, please, enjoy the show.  But if you find time, go donate a little blood in memory of the people who died on Thursday night.  You never know when the people in your community might need it.
