You sound like that NutCase Kanye, yeah go ahead and blame every single problem on Bush. He has aboslutely NOTHING to do with these shootings, and no
it was not as big a tragedy as it was made out to be. The reason why these acts of violence have become so prevalent is not due to gun control, it is
not due to the lack of pyschological screening, it is not even due to our school system, it is due to the media blowing such acts up into the largest
story in the world. Then they show images of the violence over, and over again until you cannot forget them, and almost go crazy just trying to avoid
watching the news anymore.
The Tech shooting was played into a larger Media Frenzy than the attacks of 9-11, and yet it was not even comparable on the same scale, let alone at
the same magnitude. Overplaying such incidents leads to ideas and ideas lead to more attacks. The details should be shut-out, as should the Media
after a certain point. It is sad that such acts of violence must occur, but life has to move on. We have to quit dwelling on such events, because in
all seriousness we have much more pressing matters to be concerned with. Seriously, how is it that people just seem to totally forget that we were
attacked on September 11th, 2001, and yet they stay fixated a year later on a school shooting? It makes no sense whatsoever.
