Actually, this situation proves Marx right yet again, it's all about class. The pressures of class struggle prompted this revolt.

Unless of course you mean classroom struggle. Don't think Marx had much to say about that.

But on a more serious note SergeantX - why do yout think these kinds of stories, or stories about children coming in with guns to shoot other children and teachers, don't come out of Canada ? Or Norway, Sweden, or Denmark ?
Any thoughts on the evils of any socially-constrained government and how it creates this violent mindset ? (
not)

Quote:I assume by that you mean the pressures of having a metaphoric d*ck shoved up our *sses every day, the actuality of powerlessness over the most important aspects of our lives, and the absolute callousness of our societal paradigm? Well then- yes, it did!

One of the things I find interesting about Frem is at the same time that he says that people are capable of "better" he also seems to be saying that HATE is our true nature. Seems contradictory, doesn't it?

Well on re-reading I see that Frem thinks that kids are naturally humane, and that the perversity of this level of hate comes from adults.
So I w/draw my statement. I mostly agree with Frem.
