December 8, 1980.....horrible horrible day and still is 25 yrs later

It took me awhile to find this because normally I skip this section but I also adore The Beatles and John Lennon. I definitely thought of him on 12/8 and the radio stations here were playing Lennon songs all day. It was nice. I named my son after him and George Harrison and if I ever have any more sons one of their middle names will always be Lennon. Unfortunately I was born too late, I was only 3 when he died. The Beatles rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess it just shows that the older people are dying, and the younger don't care.

Another date has also been forgotten: Dec. 6, 1989. On that day, Marc Lepine shot and killed 14 female engineering students at Montreal's L'Ecole Polytechique simply because they were women. Lepine was an angry loser who took out his hostility on women, deliberately targeting them.

You're kidding he died THAT long ago?? My bf is only 28 and he goes on as if he was there to experience his career he'd have only been 3!!
