Larry, I agree with you. There is a constant fear for doing what one think is logical and instead give in to fear. Thus creating stupid, non-enforceable laws, which needs exemptions and support laws to cover the loopholes and then we have this situation when we do not allow LENR (as an example) as it might effect someones position for tenure. Columbine, yes we all agree we need no more of that. The reasons why it happened is of course the target for a discussion with no finality (one party has stopped giving info). My point is that to stop the next incident new laws and different measures of generic nature will have no impact on the outcome. It requires logical and straight forward thinking people with personal courage to act to do that. Something, which is very hard to foster or demand.
