I’ve been following the facts surrounding the Virginia Tech tragedy and this morning I read two articles that I thought were interesting. NewTeeVee looks at the VT killings in the context of a culture addicted to fame. While I don’t agree with where the article ends up (the article concludes with these instructions for next time: “Guns are dangerous. Be nice to loners. Wait for the next tragedy. Cover it.”), I like the perspective it takes. And then there’s this article on a refrain that’s emerged from people talking about the killings on Facebook: reach out to loners.
