Ah, the euphemisms, and the divide-and-conquer solutions.
What kind of world do we want?
In the race to the bottom, weve all anticipated falling wages, limited availability of health care, people sleeping in their cars because they cant afford rent. Generally a life of precarious indentured servitude.
But should indices of worldwide quality of life measurements be revised to include a metric of Massacre-Free Schools?
Or would that be setting the bar too high?
If we put metal detectors and armed guards at entry points to schools, maybe we can shift the massacres out of the freshman building and the first grade classrooms, and into the nightclubs and movie theatres? Is that our best goal? Is there an irony that the other side talks about hardening schools?
Setting the bar at a Massacre Free Nation appears a bridge too far, for America.

Heavy sarcasm.
