    ...and a bomb in Oslo, kill more than 80 people.

    This is HORRIBLE!!! I woke up this morning, and turned the news on my TV. This is what was being reported.
    Social sites like FB, and Twitter, are all abuzz about Amy Winehouse being found dead in her home.
    Yet, barely a flicker is being said or reported about THIS horrific tragedy.

    They showed aerial photo's of the island, and some ground photo's. It made me sob, and put me in mind of photo's of Guyana and Jim Jones' compound, after they all drank the poisoned kool-aid.

    How is it, that a pop-star's death, is more newsworthy than such an act of terror like this???

    Actually, it has been pretty heavily covered. But the details are still emerging, so it's the "developing story" of the day. Winehouse's death is pretty cut and dry, if you will.

    This is just a horrible, horrible day for Norway, a country that isn't used to things like this (not that anyone ever gets "used to it", but you know what I mean...).

    Just another nutjob who went off the deep end and, even more tragically, picked on the most vulnerable group (not to mention large) that he could find.

    Sickening.

    all it would have taken was 2 or 3 armed citizens and theres a very good chance they could have ATLEAST cut the number of victims in half
