America is experiencing one of the most turbulent weeks in its history. The vicious Boston Marathon bombings that killed 3, a security guard at MIT being murdered last night and 15 dead in an explosion at a fertilizer plant near Waco, Texas, the site of another terrible tragedy regarding the Branch Davidians.

People need to take stock and reflect, understanding that violence solves nothing. No philosophy or ideology is cause or excuse to take the lives of other human beings. No one wins when people are killed. People need to find peaceful ways to coexist.
