Have you noticed no news on the Indian that blew away 10 of his own on the reservation?
By "10 of his own", I assume you mean high school students, the fact that he is native american, or on a reservation, is irrelevant to the issue of disaffected youth taking their uncontrolled angst to a deadly extreme. How many of "their own" did the upper middle class Columbine kids take out?
I'm pretty sure we won't have a national debate over a tragedy on an impoverished reservation, but disconnect a young, white woman from life support and we are about ready to send in the military . . . all those braying about the sanctity of life should be volunteering to help those actually alive (I should be doing more myself) . . .
