As a culture we have over-rehearsed the expression of anger. Years ago the superheroes were oddly wimpy (Superman, Roy Rodgers) and expressed their anger in a restrained kind of way (John Wayne). Now we get out our baseball bats when things don't go right in the traffic. I'm reminded of those millions of peasants in the 3 Gorge Dam area of China, who had lived there for countless generations, told by the government to leave, they dig up the bones of their ancestors, clean them up, and leave for somewhere else, saying 'it's for the good of the country'.
These killings in schools...this is relevant.
