Thank you. I'll agree with that point. Good one. I had not considered it.
The whole 'diss' / 'revenge' cycle and casual violence common in the urban youth culture is a shame in our society. It was, of course, in existence in my generation among urban youth, but not as extreme as it is now.
My thinking is obviously colored by my rather beige suburban existence.
Just think of what it could have descended to had those unfortunate Kent State students and their (at the time) very pissed-off friends been packing.
Flooding campuses with handguns, campuses that are already alcohol and drug fueled is the height of idiocy. If you want your student armed enroll him/her in a military academy.
