fadin' out like a stereo

I haven't posted anything about the whole Virginia Tech tragedy because, quite simply, I have nothing of worth to say about the situation. We're seeing the same textbook response to a disaster that we always see: relentless, insensitive media coverage, shameless politicians and pundits using this to further their own agendas and careers, a short-lived outpouring of grief and sympathy by the general public, and the desperate search for an explanation or a scapegoat. People want to blame gun laws, gun-free zones, video games, movies, whatever. It wouldn't matter if there were no guns in the world, or if every student in that campus had been armed in self-defense, or if violent entertainment was never created- these things would still happen because this world is screwed up and broken.
