Back-To-School (Shooting) Season

Am I the only one pondering three school shootings in only a week? Hardly. Certainly makes you wonder what society has sunk to, now doesn't it?

I feel Michael Moore did a great job of raising some excellent questions in his film Bowling for Columbine, and more is needed on the subject.

The Chicago Tribune claims there have been over 400 deaths in school violence incidents in the last twelve years. These events have created heightened security measures in our schools.

Makes me wonder: did Charlie Roberts pick an Amish school precisely because he didn't want to walk through a metal detector or have any teens text-messaging for help?
