I have been reading the diaries linked from this Columbine article.

I understand suicidal behavior. It makes sense to me. Depression usually is the cause.

I do not understand homicidal behavior.

"Doom is a first-person 'shoot-em-up' style game. So basically, one runs around levels and shoots at monsters with military weaponry. To most people it may be just another silly computer game, but to me it is an outlet for my thoughts and dreams." -- Harris, school essay Aug. 31, 1998.

He wrote, "To most people it may be just another silly computer game, but to me it is an outlet for my thoughts and dreams" . . . ?????? Whoa! That's scary. How many teens are playing these violent video games? I'm gonna have to change my views on violence.

Looking at things in a new perspective, being a new mom . . . .
