yes.....the problem is that people can't face the reality that we're still subject to the 'survival of the fittest' effect. It's something that we like to tell our selves that we've moved past as a society.....but we haven't.

SoLimberjim completely ignored the question. The question was not about survival of the fittest. The question is whether America even has a problem - such as created schooyard massacres.

Lumberjim's evasive answer demonstrates my point exactly. First thing they did in Britain was to not do what Lumberjim has done. Americans will not even do step one. Columibine - yawn. Students are massacred in VA - one bullet every 3 seconds for nine minutes - and Lumberjim will not even acknowledge a problem exists let alone tell us what that problem is.

Someone be so violently armed as to fire a round every three seconds for nine minutes - and the outcry is how loud? Crickets.
