I have hesitated to weigh in on this topic publically. However, I suppose now is as good a time as any. Remember Columbine? Remember the "Trench Coat Mafia?" How about bullying? Violent video games? If you take the time to read the book, Columbine, you will discover that all of those were lies/half-truths in an effort to find easy answers. Sociopathic/psychopathic teenagers is not an answer anyone wants to hear, especially the parents. I see the exact same thing happening here. The easy answers are everywhere. Until the news wagons pick up and leave to head out to the Next Big Story. I hate to say it, there are no easy answers coming out of this tragedy. Oh, you can point to "guns,"mental health," "civil discourse," whatever. Our attention span is so short, we'll accept those, but not wait around long enough to discover the real issues. Nothing will actually change, no one will stay with this long enough to educate us or provide answers to the tough questions. Because that takes hard work and dedication. It takes an attention span longer than a sound bite. Yes, I am rather cynical. However, I think that we all have seen this before: Columbine, Virginia Tech, Fort Hood. I believe we are still waiting for the real "why?" answers to the last two. But we've moved on to Arizona. Probably another example of easy answers, a lot of rash judgements, a bunch of political/social/legal sound bites, and no real closure.
