bbc: It's a shame and a pity that your immediate personal problem should spark so much debate. I usally am uncomfortable at pointing fingers, but your administrators seem to be true to form to what I've seen: sweep the problem under the rug--students too, if they get in the way.

The post Colorado frenzy would be funny, had it not been born of such violence. I've never seen so many Americans uniting together over one issue--these black trenchcoats. Forget guns, abortion, parents, students, drugs and television--if we could just get rid of those damn trenchcoats ;-\

Still--it was encouraging to hear that the NRA cut short their Colorado convention by a day, while the Colorado legislature postponed a vote on making it easier to carry concealed weapons.
