I'm proud to live in a nation where masses of able-bodied youth hide under desks like scared puppies when confronted by a pair of armed goth kids. I'm proud to see an elderly man respond to a college shooter instead of the dozens of college kids that were next to him. I'm proud to tell others about how box cutters and pocket knives with blades smaller than my middle finger brought our country to its knees.
We make a lot of excuses.
Perhaps I shall: Excuse me if I don't see the "It just happens" philosophy as acceptable.
