I agree Bush is wrecking the country, but I don't think this incident is a sign of it. Read "The Culture of Fear" by Michael Glassner, he uses school shootings as an example. According to Glassner, the youth homicide rate has dropped by as much as 30 percent in recent years and up to 3 times as many people are struck dead by lightening than die by school violence. However, since newsmagazines cover these events 24/7, and they are used by advocacy groups to further thier agenda, you get the impession that it happens all the time; it dosen't.
