I will repeat...

We are all products of some system or other
but there are enough misfits, loners and individualists
to escape the zombification process and become
real thinking human beings. Plenty have done it
and, with the incredibly liberating power of the Internet,
the medium in which we are now having this exchange,
the process is accelerated.

In addition I will offer the growing paroxysms of school violence,
which has accelerated since Columbine, as proof that the young
students will no longer suffer the zombification and strictures which
are forced upon them but will revolt, even to the death against it.

No, it was not video games, not arguments with the sports team members
nor our violent culture and media that had anything to do with it...
those things have been around for a long time. But the Internet and
the growing realization among young people that their future has been
mortgaged away, literally as well as figuratively speaking, inevitably
leads to the explosions of violence which have occured with increasing
frequency.

Look to the system itself, NOT THE STUDENTS, for the causes.
