Columbine in Wisconsin Copycats Stopped Before Massacre

I wrote recently how mass murder has become a sport in America; especially among teenagers. It seems like every kid with a gripe, plays too many video games, listens to violent music, and spends too much time on the Internet, was to take out their frustrations on society:
"Police have arrested a third person in a foiled Columbine-style plan to bomb and shoot students at a high school, investigators said Saturday."

Too many young people are getting the wrong fantasies. If its in rural America the only fun, if you don't have a social life, is to want to do something bad in order to get attention. There is anything else. Its like a young Muslim in a impoverish Arab country who doesn't have anything to live for. They turn to doing terrible things in order to get attention and meaning in their lives. And when you have a culture that glorifies violence and those who commit violence then we shouldn't be surprised that so many of the young want to shoot up school yards.
