Just one more bit of evidence that the whole hippy thing was just stupid.

NEW YORK - Mass public shootings have become such a part of American life in recent decades that the most dramatic of them can be evoked from the nation's collective memory in a word or two: Luby's. Jonesboro. Columbine.

And now, Virginia Tech.

Since Aug. 1, 1966, when Charles Whitman climbed a 27-story tower on the University of Texas campus and started picking people off, at least 100 Americans have gone on shooting sprees.

And all through those years, the same questions have been asked: What is it about modern-day America that provokes such random violence? Is it the decline of traditional morals? The depiction of violence in entertainment? The ready availability of lethal firepower?

Northeastern University criminologist James Alan Fox blames guns, at least in part. He notes that seven of the eight deadliest mass public shootings have occurred in the past 25 years.

Modern America? It would be the ACLU fighting that forced institutionalization is against your rights. It's lawyers screaming for equal treatment for criminals...because they had a hard childhood. Forgivesness looks great on paper. It fails the sobriety test in real life though.

yeah, it's the hippies that laid the groundwork for the culture of selfishness and vanity that we now have.

maybe it's a little more than a bunch of twits that went around wearing smelly blankets and smoking pot.

maybe it's a little more that a bunch of twits that go around with second-rate law degrees, too?

next you're going to blame the pope for the chafing between your thighs.
 
The more power we gave the government thu feel good operations & in search of peace & harmony the weaker we've become, as a nation & as individuals. Peace at all costs has come at a very high price.

The continuing misconception that the "random violence" is only a symptom.
