Go back and read your thread about the candy.
My post to you: I'm in Richmond. I appreciate your sentiment, but I think your suggestion is absolutely the wrong thing to do. I had to tell my son this morning that schools were closed because of the sniper. What do I tell him tomorrow when the schools re-open? While a card would be nice, I see it as only something else to give a kid cause to worry. And, lets face it...would you give your kid candy mailed to them by a stranger? Let the parents figure out Halloween. We'll do what's best for our kids.
Your response: Wow- I am surprised that both VA freepers who have responded here have such negative things to say. I guess there really isn't room for goodwill with you two. Letting kids know that the whole world isn't bad at a time like this is a good thing to do. If my children and I were there right now, I of course wouldn't be worring about sending them to school, I would be worried about post tramatic stress disorder, and how these events would effect my child's future view of the world. Just my two cents....Sending cards and gifts to show support to those involved with stressful circumstances is nothing new. Perhaps to you two it is however. I am sorry for that . I think there must be churches, schools and community offices that would collect and hand out cards / gifts to children whose parents would accept goodwill and thoughtful gestures. To be sure, the whole world is not as cyncial as you two.
THEN I called your idea stupid. Which admittedly was a bit much, but like I said sending cards and candy are not the solution.
Neither are t-shirts. They're expressions of frustration, sure.
But go back and read this thread too. I really could care less if you print the t-shirts and send truckloads of candy. That's your right. If that makes you feel good, then by all means do it.
But at the end of the day t-shirts and candy will still solve nothing.
And I'll still think the t-shirts are distasteful. Clever? Yes. Funny? Perhaps.
But they're still distasteful.
