We are one," said Cornell President David Skorton. "We are one community, one people, one planet. We are here today to affirm that oneness ... We are here to bear witness to the passing of the 33 members of our family at Virginia Tech University who have met an untimely and terrible fate.""the one ?" "the one who has also passed ?" Wasn't that a Jet Li movie.
And, he said, "We are here for all of those who are gone, for all 33. We are here for the 32 who have passed from the immediate to another place, not by their own choice. We are also here for the one who has also passed."
Hey! Isn't Jet Li Asian too!
Or is it something from the new Mass ?
Or is it I the new, official, double secret, academic way to refer to a crazed killer when they hail from one of our, shall we say, "minority" groups.
It seems so...
He added that those present were there to "join with our friends in the Korean and Korean-American communities for we are all one family, most especially today we share the same sorrow and the same need for comfort and reassurance."Hmmmm....
