His writing wasn't that bad.



Update:

I just read Cho's script about killing some stepdad figure after much speculation about whether he had any writing skills or not. The reports wanted me to know that his writing was so eerie he got kicked out of some university class for it, and I started to wonder whether it would be fair or rather counter-productive to keep on othering this guy even in death. I mean, so you're a little strange, but getting kicked out of a class you pay for in an american school, while paying taxes and swearing oaths to free speech and all that crap--- the point is, madness isnt remedied by more madness, it is exacerbated. it is easier to bend reality and righteousness when reality and righteousness are just ideas you toss pennies into fountains for.

in other news, I am not saying any of those people deserved it or had it coming or that there wasnt heroism that day by those who braved the madness and protected other people. I am saying that the reporting on this guy is out of control. They dont know what to call him. South Korean? English Major? Immigrant with papers? who loved computers? and other hobbies and things that make him weird n stuff... I dunno. Why dont the headlines also read guy who got kicked out of a course he paid for because free speech in america is just an illusion ends up going on a shooting spree. i think that would be just as provocative.

see ya.

"South Korean? English Major? Immigrant with papers? who loved computers?" hahaha, I call him dad.

how can I taint your blog by leaving comments that suggest that we sleep together on a regular basis?

Also I'm impressed that "carrie" didn't credit herself as "people with brains in the world".

it is implied that i have enough brains to at least be able to recognize that chelsea does at least some of her own thinking, whereas the level of intelligence on many of the message boards which i've read on this topic seriously depresses me.
