You know, you never hear "20 dead in office shooting" or "14 killed in line for bank." It's always schools.
Seems to me that schools are working better than ever. They are designed to drive children insane, and they do. And in a recursive, self-flagellating "response" to these tragedies, schools will tighten security, increase surveillance, and drive children ever more insane, which will of course only increase the frequency and ferocity of these horrible days.
The only comfort I can take is that the system is so self-destructive that ultimately it must implode under the weight of its own constriction. But how many more kids must die in the meantime?
