In southern Washington state over the weekend three carloads of teenagers took off for the beach. On a stretch of road, one of the cars pulled out to pass. Then the second car pulled out to pass. Then the third car, driven by a 17-year-old cheerleader, pulled out to pass and didn't have enough room. Four bright young kids died at the scene, and a fifth is hospitalized. The lives of so many people were changed in an eyeblink. The community is reeling.

So be careful, parents, about the whims of teenagers. No texting was involved in this crash, but the whole hyper-socialized culture opens doors for tragedies of new kinds.
