The keyboards rendered useless - a flame flickering on a desk. Books scattered, writing on the wall. 1 have a dream that these tools cari be used by everyone to communicate more clearly. 1 sec that every child can become a writer of personal tboughts or an actor with stories to, develop or an artist with pictures to create. 1 believe that they could use a screen to search, to think and to learn about a complex world beyond the small walls of this town. Some of the same minds that 1 have tried to gently steer towards dri.amn of their own were responsible for the carnage that numbed and enraged me. Wont anything ever change? Young faces puzzle. Two of those youths confessed that they had entered the school. In front of me sat the perpetrators of crime that 1 had tried to ignore.

Even as 1 stare at this screen, 1 picture the computers at the Public School covered in entered a scene completed . On their way out they snuffed the wick of that candie loft burning. What happened on that weekend is no longer the unknown to fear. It was an unfortunate act of some confused and frightened youths. This was a cry of need and pain. Dont lock your doors more tightly. Open your mind more and try to have compassion and find empathy. Tell your own family that you love them and that you care. Listen carefully, hear that they love you back. Remember the fire and how it might have grown. See that picture of computers dripping with paint and understand a littie more about the power of communication. Have a warm and thoughtful Thanksgiving. Steven G.
