A recent Littleton graduate of Columbine writes in Salon magazine. salon.com He seems to have had similar feelings to these killers, but as he states the difference is he and his friends never armed themselves to the teeth and pursued their "resentment and abhorrence" of the (I suppose you can call them) insiders" The "insider" "outsider" argument is weak. It takes effort and determination to be a wrestler, cheerleader, or even the oblivious nerd, You can't say the "outsiders" didn't work at achieving their status. Two movies address this in some ways, Lord of the Flies and If. We have been aware of the problem. It is not new. This society has chosen to ignore the issue. Tribes socialize, religions socialize, even the military socializes. Faceless suburban environments with corporate big box and absentee ownership form, as the author of the Salon article, J Stark says "centers that cannot hold" because "there is no center". They do not socialize. They alienate. They destroy. Not actively but passively it produces a steady flow of sociopaths. Gordon
