propose they rename it "Charlie Heston High" and maybe the students will learn to take AR-15s with extended military-spec scopes and .223 high-velocity ammo and start plinking innocent civilians at random in the suburbs of Washington. That's far more effectual than blowing oneself up in a bus.In America these days, it seems that violence ascribed to any political doctrine foreign to Bushism is vile and repugnant. But random violence is entertainment and intrigue.A couple of ex-FBI "consultants" speaking on the shootings in DC were quoted as saying the shooters, presumed to be a pair, were getting a "heroin-like high" from each successful kill and that they "for whatever reason decided to level the playing field, thumbing their nose at law enforcement and society."See? Just a couple of kids having fun with Daddy's semi-automatic hunting rifle. Harmless!-Ian.
