Peter K (Fionn),

Thank you for so kindly suggesting that the bulk of my fellow Appalachians may not be as dull-witted as I am.   

You might try re-reading items #2 through #4 above (03 Sept, 10:32 PM). Notice especially the second and third sentences of item #3.   

Regardless of the "general intelligence levels in them Appalachian hills", we do have enough intelligence to realize that, if one wishes to mark the occasion of a mass murder by wearing a special costume, it would be appropriate to do so in a way that expresses solidarity with the victims. I like robomatic's suggestion.
