I just don't know how to feel anymore, first shock, then sad, then rage! Why we can't do something, anything is beyond me! Damn our government for being so useless!!!!!!! It seems that we have come to a sad point in how we perceive problem solving. Someone has a gripe of some kind, real or imagined, and for reasons we cannot understand, decides the only "solution" is to kill innocent people. Makes no sense whatsoever. But it has something to do with a skewed sense of entitlement to do whatever you want to in order to get revenge or prove some sort of political or personal point. Some of the these attackers are truly mentally ill. Others are just bad, selfish people. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. This attacker is so young. I imagine his motive, however misguided, will be know soon. And so often, guns are the weapon of choice. They allow someone to attack anonymously, impersonally and at a distance, unlike face-to-face personal confrontation. How and why this kid got access to a gun is beyond my comprehension. Sadly, some very powerful people have been prioritizing the wrong things. And now, of course, there are lots of guns in circulation. Tough call at this point, even if our "leaders" came to their senses.

Pretty OT. But to be fair in 1999 Bill Clinton promised Gun Regulation Control after Columbine. in 2012 Obama promised Gun Control Regulations. And unfortunately HeWhoCannot amed wont promise anything because of his partnership with the NRA. If he really wants to make change, then their it is. But unfortunately I don't see that happening. Anyway thats my bit on politics.
Hopefully some news on Adams album soon.

Just got here, peeps asked me to re-post my donation post. Q3, we are in the final week before the actual b'day, I would really appreciate if it could make it to the front of the threads. Please, let me know, if there are any questions I can clear up for you, not sure what you need, but you indicated that you needed some things. Anyhow, hope this link thing works, here it is: Donation-info - Adam Lambert 36th BirthdayETA: I would also be grateful for everyone's help in spreading this info to the other fan communities, and also to the twitter community, especially by those who have far flung followers on social media. Done!! I just need some more time in my life. Thank you so much for putting this together!! It is something of a tradition and I am glad it is continuing. Sorry, but I did not even have time to read it all. Things get better for me in May :(

I am so sorry to hear this. She was and always will be an incredible inspiration to me and one of my all-time favourite writers (of any genre). My condolences to you and your family.
