I'm a bit upset with how my peers are reacting to what happened in Boston. I understand what happened was an awful thing, and loved ones were mutilated and murdered, but it's almost like a good deal of people who are upset by this are foaming at the mouth calling for blood.
There was also a really bad explosion at a fertilizer factory in Texas that pretty much got swept under the rug, where 4-5 blocks were decimated, around 200 injured, and at least 14 dead with numerous people (including fire fighters) still missing. The missing will probably remain so, because of how massive the explosion was. Do you want to know some of the reasons why this happened? Because of the corruption and negligence of our own systems (The Texas Department of Health Services which knew of major safety violations, yet failed report them to the proper authorities).
My point is that we shouldn't over react or over look tragedies, and remain level-headed when these things happen.
