Remember the Montreal Massacre

Via the Alternate Brain Mail Bag, Michael Stickings of The Reaction points me to this post by newest member of his excellent blog.

Take a moment today to remember that, 16 years ago, on December 6, 1989, a man walked into the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, and killed fourteen women in cold blood.

...

Remember that while our objective is equality, we have not yet reached that goal, but we must continue toward it. Remember that even in North America, women are not yet completely equal to men, though some may think otherwise...


I never knew about this, but in '89 I was living out of a coke spoon and Jack Daniel's bottle. A timely post considering the injustice playing out in Oregon this past week.
