I spent time there too - terrible. France is closing its borders.
Addition - the whole thing is horrible - just found out we lost a California college student studying abroad in Paris. Nohemi Gonzalez - to read about her is heartbreaking.
There is a 45-minute college memorial tribute to her on her facebook which is really sad to watch, but at the same time, inspiring.

- "this may be the beginning of something because really big."
Let's hope it's the beginning of the end of hate & terror & intolerance . . . the beginning of love where it has yet to take hold. -

The Reason Why 'Everyday Heroes' Emerge in Atrocities
Despite the horror of events such as the Paris attack, it is common to hear stories of extreme, selfless bravery. What makes people risk their lives to save others?
By David Robson - BBC News - 17 November 2015
Excerpt:
. . . Why do some people show such amazing bravery?
For those who give their lives, we can never know what was going through their minds,
but David Rand at Yale University has examined many similar cases of everyday heroism to try to understand the thinking behind these kinds of selfless acts – and his findings should offer a chink of light in these dark times. . . . -

A French Father Tries To Explain The Attacks To His Young Son
Sometimes as a parent, it's hard to explain a cruel world to our children.
And sometimes, we see examples of a parent doing it exceptionally well despite some very tough circumstances.
Le Petit Journal, a show on the Canal+ network, captured a moment like that at the makeshift memorial in front of the Bataclan Theater in Paris, where dozens were killed during a terrorist attack on Friday.
There's not much more to say, other than watch.
[English captions provided. Do watch again, though, to be sure to capture the language of facial expressions. It's worth the extra minute or two.] -

French Parents Try To Explain The Inexplicable To Their Kids
By Eleanor Beardsley - NPR - November 17, 2015
Excerpts:
. . . "They basically say you have to explain to them that ... not all humanity is that bad, it's only a small group of people that mean harm." . . . .
. . . a leaflet . . . gives advice on how to talk to kids about the violence. It includes cartoons such as a crying Eiffel Tower holding hands with children. . . .
. . . she's starting an art project around Picasso's painting Guernica . . . and his Dove of Peace, to help the children express their feelings. . . . -

Now Russia and Turkey are going at it while we are blowing up ISIS oil tank trucks. (At least the Americans are dropping flyers before hitting the trucks warning drivers to get out and run before bombing them.)
Does anyone think about this starting a World War 3? That would be tragic, to say the least. And really, "tragic" doesn't even begin to describe it.
