so many shootings.  I only really remember the Columbine one.  I 
remember though that since then it's become quite routine.  Like I said

cold:  oh, so what, another shooting?

The first time it's shocking, the others not so.

well, that's news to me.  So, no one dies from a bomb anymore, just for 
smelly feet?
