...Dylan Klebold sits in the tan La-Z-Boy, chewing on a toothpick. Eric Harris adjusts his video camera a few feet away, then settles into his chair with a bottle of Jack Daniels and a sawed-off shotgun in his lap. He calls it Arlene, after a favorite character in the gory Doom video games and books that he likes so much. He takes a small swig. The whiskey stings, but he tries to hide it, like a small child playing grownup. These videos, they predict, will be shown all around the world one day--once they have produced...
SENTENCED. MARK MANES, 22, to six- and three-year prison terms for selling a handgun to Dylan Klebold, one of the teens responsible for the massacre at Columbine, and for possessing a sawed-off shotgun; in Golden, Colo. At the sentencing hearing, transcripts of a videotape were read in which the killers thank Manes for "[helping] us do what we needed to do" but say he knew nothing about their plans...

How we treat our children, what they see and learn from us, tell us what is healthy and what is sick--and more about who we are than we may want to know.

The common supposition is that if Klebold and Harris could only have been as pious and God-fearing as Cassie, or at least had been pressured to be so in their schools, their homicidal tendencies would have been replaced by religious fervor. If Cassie were not killed for her belief in God, the lesson is entirely changed...
...have sex. This leaves American youth in Kansas ill-prepared to deal with a university education, in Texas ill-prepared to deal with sex, and everywhere convinced that their elders are complete morons. After all, on the Internet superhighway of information (of which, incidentally, Harris and Klebold were expert navigators) kids can find out all the information that these hijacked school boards are trying to keep from them...
