<<It is weird. I wonder if they really all get along, or if they just don't shoot each other. I mean, would you know if some were terribly unhappy?>. It do get in the papers here. We's a little slow but we's driving $200,00 dollar tractors. Of course you can tell if a kid wears only black raincoats and celebrates Hitler's birthday. We have had one shooting here of a personal nature involving gangs and beatings. I hope that is the end.

E, As I drove Ammo to class this evening, I asked if they had talked about this in school at all today. HE said, oh yeah, a lot. Some of the kids had lived in Denver and were saying that it was a very upscale kind of place. I guess that's what bothered them; it was too much "like home". He saw pictures of the boys and said they were ordinary looking guys in black trenchcoats, bright kids who were the misfits and outcasts- Mansonites,he calls them. But he also said they had "Nazi symbols and stuff" tattooed on their hands. He then said "You know , Mom, you guys are so naive. You don't realize what it's like. If you told me to bring home some drugs, even I, who am like the straightest kid in school, I'd still get home at the same time." In other words, no problem. I also got a call from the School DIstrict- they'd been called by a paper about interviewing CW, who has a reputation for being a computer whiz in the area, to find out about internet bombmaking or something. THey denied permission, as did I. Anyone can find that stuff--- they don't need a computer geek. I once typed "sex" in a Search engine to see what was available to my boys and I'm still getting bizarre e-mail. I sure got an education. I think Chuz may have a very important point about the immediacy and intrusiveness of the media. People have always done terrible things. But we get it in living color, simulcast and with instant replay. No wonder we are inured; how could one take the constant painful barrage and survive?
