Reply #39: Yes we surely have

Columbine made that crystal clear to me. Just last week, there was a school shooting in the Portland area. The principal was the same principal who was at Thurston in 1998. Can you imagine going through this twice? This stuff didn't happen 50 years ago. Something is horribly wrong and the wrong is with us. The people in this thread who refuse to take responsibility, well I just don't understand them.

You, otoh, I see you are just 24. You certainly didn't fail. The failure is on us, your parents and grandparents. I don't know what went wrong, but I sure wish there would be some national will to take an honest look in the mirror and just get up and be nicer. This hostile culture has just got to end.
