School Violence

Over at Legion’s Fate there is a nice little post about killing sprees.  This as a result of the recent act that was prevented in NC.  Some pointed reminders about what really comes into play when a large number of homicidal acts is perpetrated by a single, or small group, of individuals.

The cliff note’s version is that guns are generally not the primary weapon.

So many people think that firearms are the only tool that enable one to kill, but this is flawed logic. There are more efficient ways to mass murder, and the materials are readily available to anyone.

Go give it a read.

… is also Lenin’s Birthday.

Hmm…interesting coincidence or something else?

Lenin’s political philosophy knew nothing of morality, he once said that, “There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.” Some environmentalists take this to heart as well, placing metal spikes in trees so that when these trees get to lumber mills the spike will ruin the saws and have in some cases injured or even killed mill workers.

You decide.
