Columbine

Monday was the 10th anniversary of the Columbine shootings. Oprah cancelled her show on it because she felt it gave too much attention to the killers. . Pab Sungenis draws the very excellent New Adventures Of Queen Victoria which you can view each day at http://www.gocomics.com/. I'm happy to note that his take on Columbine - and the lessons we never learned - match mine. Until we stop the bullying and elitism that goes on in our High Schools, you're always going to have a day when some of those those picked-on peeps say, "That's Enough!!" and start blowing their tormentors away.

It's not high school, but the Virginia Tech shooting really shows nothing's changed. Not to mention a gazillion other school shootings since Columbine.

yep. the common thread in all this is that all the shooter(s) were bullied. i was really pleasantly surprised to find Sungenis' Sunday NAQV strip making that very point.
