Free Republic

the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, drafted in 1789, reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." But what happens when the very "security of a free State" is directly infringed by "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms?" That, my friends, is known as a contradiction in terms, and in the science of logic, a statement that goes on to deny itself becomes inherently false.

The fact that NBC has aired (and aired again, and again!) the Va Tech killer's manifesto isn't surprising. What is surprising is the way the internet chatters are responding to this fact. Quite clearly, there are a lot of people very angry at the Peacock network at this moment. By airing these tapes, NBC has given the killer what he wanted: notoriety. Since the guy wimped out and killed himself, short of there being GE televisions in hell, Cho Seung-Hui knows nothing of this notoriety since HE IS DEAD.

Network officials turned the material over to the FBI and said they would not immediately disclose its contents beyond characterizing the material as “disturbing.” It included a written communication, photographs and...

IT'S NOT ILLEGAL TO BE WEIRD By now, the world knows that the killer at Virginia Tech is a guy named Cho Seung-Hui. You won't see him described as an "Asian" anymore. The group that protects the Asians have voiced a protest for fear of casting aspersions on all Asians. I think I've read enough about the massacre to know that Hui was a loner. He talked in monosyllable responses when asked questions. His roommate says he wasn't particularly interactive. He wrote a story for an English assignment that apparently was a bit over the top. So much so that...
