Mark Steyn: For a More Manly Answer

[monk222]

♠
This is a temporary post pointing the way to a Mark Steyn column on the school shooting, arguing against the idea that society needs to be more protective of college students. In it he mocks the manhood of the victims in a general argument about how our culture is too passive, breeding that passivity in too many. He also related a similar shooting in Canada that brings out his point more clearly. People need to be better able to defend themselves.

Mark Steyn's "A Culture of Passivity."

Personally, I think it's an interesting point, but it can be overdone. In the Cho case, it looks like we could have had a better reaction from our mental health institutions, as there were evidently a lot of bad warning signs.
