there is a considerable amount of evidence to suggest the Nazi
influence, and for children that age to be so well-armed,
in Colorado, it is likely they were in contact with white supremacists;
certainly timing the (o i am a loss for a word to describe what
happened) - it, on Hitler's birthday, was part of the plan.
that there are insufficient quantities of black kids/minorities on
the list of dead is misleading: it is a hate that hasn't been
seen ...since i watched the exodus of Albanians on the news last night.
and these are grown men. men. men. (o i'm sorry did i repeat myself?)
i am afraid for these youth, the trenchcoat mafia, and all the
others who, as kathie goff pointed out, live such torture emotional lives
that they plan and enact these atrocities -
that these school killings occur in white rich neighbourhoods by
rich white youth is especially disturbing = what feeds that sort of hate?

When she walks,
the revolution's coming.
In her hips, there's revolution.
When she talks, I hear revolution.
In her kiss, I taste the revolution.
