I've been reading the mass media and paying attention to the coverage this incident has had.

Most of the time while doing this I've been yelling at inanimate objects (television, newspaper) about how stupid and unaware the authors and newswriters are being.

I have read this article and I have sent emails to every person I know, geek or not, suggesting they read it.

What is going on here is important... It needs to make it to the mass media. The type of persecution that is currently happenning to kids all over the country because of the coverage of this tragedy is horrible and stupid... and until someone in the mass-media starts spewing sanity, it's gonna keep happenning.

Someone needs to bring to light what is really the problem here, not Doom, not the Internet, not the NRA... but tolerance. And the alienation and abuse that these two kids took, and thousands of others take every day.

These kids are getting media attention because when they self destructed they took 15 people with
them. If they quietly blew themselves away at home, how much attention would they have gotten. The answer: none. How many suicides happenned at your school while you were there?

That's something to get angry about.

So... write your newspaper... write CNN... write (gulp) msnbc... Get someone in the mass media to notice this. Perhaps it's not too late to inject some sanity and reality into this media frenzy.
