I think, in America at least, we have a morbid fascination with death. Especially the deaths concerning the "innocents and babes." We erect monuments to nearly every cause and every victim of tragic circumstance. We link every present tragedy with similiar events in the past, creating an endless cycle of misfortune and never ending grief.

I think there is a time for sorrow. There is a time for consolation. There comes a time, however, when we need to let the past be the past and move on to other things.

The wound that is Columbine has had 5 years to fester and rot; it's time to let that one go and move on to the kids who are still living.
