This was written by a friend of a friend. However, I fully share the sentiment:

It has been a little disturbing to read so many who are jumping on "band wagons" in response to this horrible tragedy in Aurora. This is not about more or less gun control. This is not about being harder or softer on crime. This is not about the state of the mental health community. This is not about movie content. It is not about everyone needing to have someone else's vision of or connection to God. These may all be viable topics, but this is a tragedy.
When our personal agendas have become so all-encompassing within our own mind, that even this type of horror immediately becomes fodder for our favorite hot-topic, we need to widen our vision.
Let the tragedy be a tragedy. For now, this is not about our own agendas but the loss of loved ones. Even the predsidential candidate have parked their political agendas for the moment (both candidate at their absolute best). Maybe we can stop debating long enough to support those affected and do what we can to create healing. Our agendas, I promise, will all be there whenever we look for them. For now, here's hoping we heal others and ourselves.
