What is going on with the United States today? What is going on with us as a people? In America, we live by the bullet and we damned sure are dying by the bullet. It's a sad testament to the degeneracy of American culture and our society’s value for human life when school shootings and rampages are "all the rage" when you are pissed off about something. In 1999, the Columbine shootings were unique and surprising. Here we are, almost ten years later, and I don't even remember the NAMES of...

Why isn't the sudden rampage killing of eight innocent people and one guilty gunman in Nebraska a bigger deal? Or what about the four murdered by a gunman in Colorado over the weekend? Why aren't more questions asked, more resources devoted to the study of domestic terrorism by the criminally insane? Are U.S citizens not admitting to the partial responsibility for these incidents? I'm still thinking about the Cho Seung-Hui shooting incidents that happened only this past April (April 16—my...

In fairness, The Rag Box wishes to point out that Georgia, Montana, Hawaii, and Ohio all carry similar laws for the mentally challenged. It is a Catch-22 situation. With a twist. You cannot be proven to be deranged until you commit a deranged act. Most states have removed the term "imminent" from their mental facility admittance requirements, meaning for example, in the State of Florida, one can be "Baker Acted" for 72 hours to determine the nature and extent of their illness and whether...

By now you know the details, it's all over the news channels. At least 31 students and faculty of Virginia Tech are dead. An equal number are wounded. Originally it was suspected that there were 2 gunmen, but later it was surmised that there was only 1. This was due to there being 2 'fight zones' which, it was determined, because the gunmen moved during the original panic and took up a new location on campus and began shooting again from the new location 2 hours later. This is the...

I have to say, I feel sick about this whole Virginia Tech tragedy. I can’t even imagine what these students are going through—even if they weren’t there at the time. How do they return to school? How are they handling all these overwhelming emotions? What about the absolute nightmare of the families who’ve lost loved ones in this senseless chaos? It affects us. It literally saddens us, scares us and brings us back to reality that anything can happen at any given time- just like that! How can...
