MONTREAL MASSACRE

OK, so here's something deeply disturbing.

As you may or may not know, this Saturday is December 6th. This marks the 14th anniversary of when a rather foul soul walked into L'Ecole Polytechnique, asked the male professor to leave, and proceeded to kill 14 women because they got into Engineering, and he didn't, before turning the gun on himself.

I heard today that someone handing out white ribbons (a pledge of men not to commit violence against women) was told that it was a conspiracy. This sickens me, along with the number of men who approach the table, and leave when told that wearing one symbolizes a pledge not to personally commit violence against women in their lives.

This only happened 14 years ago. That's frightening. This Saturday, I'll be taking some time to reflect on this event, and I hope you will too.
