The thing that amazes me the most about the Columbine tragedy is that so many people are surprised it happened. Aside from the other instances of school violence, this shouldn't have been unexpected, and judging from some of the other responses, I'm not alone in my thinking. After all, far too many kids look at school more as a prison sentence than a learning experience, and the treatment they receive only bears this out. When one is trapped in an unbearable situation, one will do anything to change it. These boys took revenge on their tormentors, and who among us, if given the chance, wouldn't have relished the opportunity to do the same? A fairly grim look at human nature, but a necessary one.
