> The tragedy is we turn our backs
This is utter nonsense. There is teeth-gnashing about violence
*everywhere*. If I had a nickle for every well-meant but ultimately
meaningless "call to arms" on this issue...
Shit happens, folks. Do your best, teach your children well. But every
incident is not a Important Social Issue. It's an event. Waving the bloody
shirt doesn't make an argument -- it's just an intellectually dishonest
rhetorical technique.
What's really tragic is that a few loud people will always prefer overbroad
social prescriptions and blue ribbon commissions over simple personal
responsibility.
