I've got to wonder what sort of a culture I'm living in when a broadcast on NPR begins "In the worst school shooting since..".
Since when did we start comparing school shootings? What does that say about our society, our culture, the culture of violence in this country?
This ties in to my disgust for the evening TV news broadcasts. I haven't watched them in years because they just portray a totally evil world. Never mind that there is much more uplifting stuff to report, they pander to the lowest common denominator of our fears.
I should really be living elsewhere.
