Skipper, I would definitely agree that very sensational press coverage that glamorizes the young shooters in these school massacres is a horrible idea. However, we do have a free press in America, so it is a difficult concept, to me at least, that they should be censored in what they report.

The press is to some degree a mirror on our culture, which is extremely violent. Certainly, if children were not blowing each other--and their teachers--away, there would be nothing at all to report.

Pretty soon this behavior may be so common and ordinary that the press will not cover it with so much attention.
