Roger, 

 

Actually that's PRE-conscious.  Unconscious is all the grubby, icky stuff;
preconscious is the lilty, playful, creative stuff.  It was vanGogh's
preconscious that did the paintings; it was his unconscious that cut off his
ear.  

 

You heard it first from me.

I have now supplemented my morning reading with
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_(Australia) and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunblane_school_massacre.  

 

The Dunblane school massacre inspired the Port Arthur perpetrator, resulted
in the deaths of a classroom of 5 and 6 year old students and their teacher,
and led to the current dearth of legal personal hand guns in the UK.  And as
already noted, the Port Arthur massacre led to the revision of gun control
law in Australia.

 

At the end of this research, I find myself humming a tune from The
Threepenny Opera.  The "Song of the Insufficiency of Human Struggling" aka
"Useless Song":  http://kwf.org/media/threepenny/useless.mp3

 

Since people ain't much good, just hit 'em on the hood, and though you hit
'em good and hard, they're never out for good.

Useless it's useless, even when you're playing rough, take it from me it's
useless, you're never rough enough.

 

I am not sure why it percolated up here, it is a truly unconscious
contribution to the discussion.

shudders up your spine:

"...enough to kill just about every student in the school if given enough
time, authorities said" 

"The chief medical examiner has said the ammunition was a type designed to
expend its energy in the victim's tissues and stay inside the body to
inflict the maximum amount of damage."
