Apparently the shooter at Virginia Tech was an English major whose creative writing was upsetting for some people to read.
So, probably now anyone that writes amateur horror stories is going to be on some government watch-list....

Plus, some of us also play DOOM. And I've seen "Apocalypse Now" a few times. According to the Columbine backlash, I should be killing people right... about... now...
Nope, still here.

just this morning on adam carolla's radio show, they were talking about his writing teacher being concerned with his subject matter, and the authorities not being able to do anything based on that.
somebody said something like 'if edgar allen poe was in that class, that teacher would be calling the campus police every day.'
happily, they didn't follow the stupid train of thought that many people will ride all the way to fearville, where book burnings are being planned as we speak.
ps. long time no see, nortonew!

i propose we have a massive burning of some kind to mark the date. not books, though; that wouldn't be appropriate. there must be something else we can burn a lot of...

Well the tears would make them hard to burn, but their heads are also coated in a thick layer of styling gel, and that stuff has to be flammable, right? I mean, it is in my fantasies.
