...proactive approach to avoid the senseless tragedy we all read about, and hear about and fear for is necessary because there isn't awareness," Tarr said...
...micromanaged world only when he is pounding someone else to a pulp with his bare hands. Everything is frenetic, violent, and rough-cut in retaliation against the stuffy conformity of yuppie existence: in this angst-ridden world, movies have violent spurts of hardcore pornography, people commit random acts of senseless whoopass, the corporate oppressor gets his well-deserved comeuppance only after a violent "brawl"-even soap is not the innocuous cleansing agent you might think it is.

Galen was in his second year at Simon's Rock College in Great Barrington, Mass., when a fellow student named Wayne Lo went berserk and shot up the campus with a cheap imported rifle, killing Galen and a teacher and wounding four others. Ever since then, Greg has struggled to wrest some meaning from this tragedy, and I think he has succeeded...
