The news media seem stunned and surprised, yet their coverage sounds so similar to the stories about Columbine eight years ago. They dwell on the personality of the young man the police say did the shooting, before killing himself. They talk about him being a "loner," depressed, perhaps angry at women. But aren&#39;t there lonely and depressed people all over the world? Many countries have high suicide rates. Why is it that here some become mass murderers? The U.S. is the world leader in seemingly random acts of violence by individuals. Why? President George W. Bush rushed to Virginia to speak at a large convocation the day after the killings and tried to set the tone for what could be said about them. "It&#39;s impossible to make sense of such violence and suffering," he said. Don&#39;t ask why, don&#39;t try to understand. It makes no sense. "Have faith" instead, was Bush&#39;s message. But there ARE reasons these things happen here, and they are pretty clear to the rest of the world. It&#39;s just in the United States that no one is supposed to talk about the reasons. What distinguishes this country from the rest of the world? It is neither the most affluent nor the poorest. It is neither the most secular nor the most religious. It is not the most culturally homogeneous nor is it the most diverse. But in one area, it stands virtually alone. It has the biggest arsenal of high-tech weaponry in the world, way surpassing every other country. It has military bases spread all over; most countries have no troops outside their borders. It is conducting two hot wars at the moment, in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has sent hundreds of thousands of troops abroad over the last few years. Every day, the public here is supposed to identify with soldiers who burst into homes in Baghdad, round up the people and take them away for "interrogation"-which everyone knows now can mean torture and indefinite detainment. It also sends heavily armed "special ops" on secret missions to countless other countries, like the ones who just facilitated the invasion and bombing of Somalia, or the ones who have been trying to stir up opposition in Iran. This is documented in the news media. The immense brutality of these colonial wars, as well as earlier ones, is praised from the White House on down as the best, the ONLY way to achieve what the political leaders and their influential, rich backers decide is necessary to protect their world empire. Do lots of people get killed? "Stuff happens," said former war secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "Collateral damage," says the Pentagon. At home, the U.S. has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. Over 2 million people are locked up in the prison system each year, most of them people of color. When commercial armed security guards are also taken into consideration, the U.S. has millions of employees who use guns and other coercive paraphernalia in their jobs. In the final analysis, the military and the police exist to perpetuate and protect this present unjust system of capitalist inequality, where a few can claim personal ownership over a vast economy built by the sweat and blood of hundreds of millions of workers. And the more divided, the more polarized the society becomes, the higher the level of coercion and violence. Assault weapons are now everywhere in this society, as are Tasers, handcuffs, clubs and tear gas. They most often start out in the hands of the police, the military and other agents of the state, and can then turn up anywhere. Violence is a big money maker in the mass culture. Television, films, pulp novels, Internet sites, video games-all dwell on "sociopaths" while glorifying the state&#39;s use of violence, often supplemented by a lone vigilante. By the time children reach their teens, they have already seen thousands of murders and killings on television. And these days even more suspense is added in countless programs that involve stalking and terror against women-and increasingly children. As the Duke rape case and so many "escort service" ads show, women of color are particularly subject to exploitation and have little recourse to any justice. And as the murders along the border show, immigrants of color are fair game for racist killers. The social soil of capitalism can alienate and enrage an unstable and miserable person who should be getting help but can&#39;t find it. If, as reports are saying, the young man accused of these killings was on anti-depressant medication, it is all the more evidence that, at a time when hospitals are closing and health care is unavailable for tens of millions, treating mental health problems requires more from society than just prescribing dubious chemicals. Many liberal commentators are taking this occasion to renew the demand for tougher gun laws. Yes, assault weapons are horrible, but so are bunker buster bombs, helicopters that fire thousands of rounds a minute, and the ultimate-nuclear weapons. Disarming the people is not the answer, especially when the government is armed to the teeth and uses brutality and coercion daily. The best antidote to these tragedies is to build a movement for profound social change, a movement directed at solving the great problems depressing so much of humanity today, whether they be wars or global climate change or the loneliness of the dog-eat-dog society. -- Original Source: <a href="http://www.iactucson.org/VirginiaTech.html">http://www.iactucson.org/VirginiaTech.html</a> Licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 License</a>.

Tempering a respect for the deceased and their families with a desire to draw upon lessons from the tragedy to prevent future occurrences is touchy. Indeed, allegations have already been levied that some have exploited the Virginia Tech shootings for political gain. Within hours of the attack, gun-control advocates began a full-fledged campaign against gun-rights politicians, as many in the media were quick to call for increased regulation of guns, ostensibly to prevent future tragedies. We at the <em>Patriot</em> give our condolences to the families of the deceased, and pray for a quick recovery of those affected by the attack. At the same time, we take a firm stand against gun-control advocates who attempt to offensively use the recent tragedy to silence other voices. The aftermath of Columbine was no different. Second Amendment advocates were branded "insensitive" and politicians seized the opportunity to put gun-control measures on the table. However, Virginia Tech bears little resemblance to Columbine. Though the first two student deaths in the dormitory were unexpected, the subsequent slayings in Norris Hall could have been prevented with adequate campus security and warnings. The issue at question should be the shoddy campus security and an administration&#39;s apparent complacency in the face of red flags; campus officials issued only an e-mail warning to students after the first two victims were found murdered. Virginia Tech&#39;s administration is not unique. UC Berkeley&#39;s own stance on security is laughable, in the face of a locus of crime around People&#39;s Park. Vagrancy exists as a catalyst for crime, yet is permitted to continue. Admittedly, muggings and university shootings are on separate planes, but the complacency about student safety is the same. Unfortunately, it takes a tragedy before bureaucratic and disconnected administrations get serious about student safety. Despite the fact that the Virginia Tech administration could have done more to secure the campus, gun-control advocates nonetheless spuriously seized the opportunity to make the Second Amendment the primary culprit. However, existing gun-control laws outlawed the killer from having guns. Even <em>The New York Times</em> pointed out that existing laws "made the killer ineligible to purchase guns" since law "prohibits anyone who has been &#39;adjudicated as a mental defective ...&#39; from buying a gun." The killer slipped through existing statues because enforcement of such laws is spotty. Local mental-health records are often not synchronized with national records, which let killer Seung-Hui Cho slip through. Gun-control advocates shouldn&#39;t be championing more legislation, but instead should be focusing their efforts on enforcing existing laws. Even if one philosophically supports additional gun-control laws, they would only serve to stretch existing enforcement budgets thinner, and result in a net decrease in enforcement. Yet reasons to oppose gun control aren&#39;t just pragmatic. Freedom is often confused as the philosophical justification for the Second Amendment. However, the philosophical base for the right to bear arms is much more profound. Such a right empowers individuals to defend themselves, so they don&#39;t have to leap out of windows when threatened by mentally defective maniacs. It gives individuals the ability to defend themselves when a government or administration does not take the adequate steps to protect them. During the rampage, students were at the mercy of the killer and the Virginia Tech administration. Were even one mentally stable student, instructor, or janitor armed, the outcome would have likely been much different. Far from demonstrating a need for extensive gun control, the Virginia Tech tragedy demonstrated the dangers of relying heavily on a bureaucratic entity for protection. It&#39;s true that enforcement of existing laws could have helped prevent the tragedy, and a more vigilant administration could have prevented two deaths from turning into 32. The underlying lesson to take from the tragedy, however, is markedly different. At the end of the day, neither a university administration nor government can ever be trusted to safeguard an individual&#39;s safety, because such amorphous bodies lack the direct accountability to do so. The university president and security force may lose their jobs over the tragedy, and that may compel future officers to be vigilant. Yet the students who barricaded themselves into classrooms won&#39;t forget that they owe their lives to their own abilities to save themselves, not to a university administration, police force, or government. -- Original Source: California Patriot Online <a href="http://californiapatriot.org/magazine/issue/8/8/editorial">http://californiapatriot.org/magazine/issue/8/8/editorial</a> Licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 License</a>.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Brent Jesiek Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource AJ Meyer Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-08-05 Description An account of the resource <p>By now the mass media has inundated you with coverage of the Virginia Tech massacre, but I don&#39;t want to rehash the details of the event. I want to take a deeper look at a possible motive. Some people will argue about gun control, or the failure of the mental health community. While these are salient issues they miss what I gathered from the videos to be an overarching reason behind his rampage. He like many school gunman before him felt inferior to his peers. He turned this "status anxiety" inward until it manifested in a maniacal rampage. Status Anxiety, I&#39;m pretty sure that the people living in <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4359904.stm">Rublyovo</a> know all about it. From what I&#39;ve heard Los Angeles is right up there too (I&#39;ll let you know this summer). Increasingly and unexpectedly another type of high status local has begun to emerge in previously quite towns like Bloomington, IN. That&#39;s right, university towns are working hard to be included in the same breathe as other high status locals. It used to be that college was a time when people ate ramen and being "poor" was rite of passage. Not anymore. I&#39;m sure that some students still have a tough time at college, but increasingly the term poor college kid is a joke. Youth and excess money make these towns the perfect starting place for status anxiety. Before we go on lets give a quick explanation of status anxiety before I am labeled a communist and you quit reading. The basis of the problem can be summed up by William James&#39;s simple equation</p> <p align="center" style="text-align: center;">Self Esteem =&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Success </u><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Expectations</p><p id="nq">The problem is that in our modern society expectations continue to rise at rates that are unattainable for most people. This creates a rise in levels of status anxiety which translates into a rise in levels of concern about importance, achievement, and income. What happens then is that self-esteem suffers. People feel anxious about their lives. They feel that life is not amounting to what they expected. In the worst case scenarios like the one at Virginia Tech people take out their frustrations on others who they perceive as having the success they so desire. One University of Kentucky student put it this way "I think the biggest pressure would probably be social. Being at the right bars or parties on the weekend and then for girls the right fashion, outside the sorority I guess it would probably be the same." These feelings are all part of a trend that has been going on for some time now. One author Alain de Botton in his book titled <em>Status Anxiety </em>identifies the ignominious nature of this problem. He notes that the sharp decline in actual deprivation found in many western societies paradoxically increases the sense of deprivation and fear of it. Even in America a nation blessed with riches and possibilities far beyond those imaginable to our ancestors we continue to believe that nothing is ever enough. Now you might being say to yourself I have no desire to be Donald Trump, but what if one of your closest friends got rich. Take for example this weeks episode of the HBO uberstatus series <a href="http://www.hbo.com/entourage/episode/season03/episode38.html">Entourage.</a> In the episode Ari (rich Hollywood agent) has an old friend come for a visit. He believes that his old frat buddy is managing a Hooters somewhere back east. When he finds out that he made 65 million dollars from stamps.com and got a beautiful young fiance he gets jealous. Botton makes note of this psychological phenomenon that sees us comparing ourselves mostly to our closest friends our "reference group". It is their relative successes that creates the most status anxiety. In Part 2 tomorrow we look more closely a Bottons reasons for how we got here and how we can break free from our status anxiety. <span class="sizeGreater20">Pt. 2 Tomorrow (<a href="http://www.hiphoosier.com/the-beat/2007/5/3/status-anxiety-pt-2-how-did-we-get-herehow-do-we-get-out.html" target="_blank">Click Here</a>)</span> Posted on Wednesday, May 2, 2007 at 12:26AM by <a href="http://www.hiphoosier.com/display/ShowAuthorProfile?registeredAuthorId=47619&rootReturnUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hiphoosier.com%2Fthe-beat%2F2007%2F5%2F2%2Fstatus-anxiety-and-what-happened-at-virginia-tech-pt-1.html">AJ Meyer</a> -- Original Source: <a href="http://www.hiphoosier.com/the-beat/2007/5/2/status-anxiety-and-what-happened-at-virginia-tech-pt-1.html">http://www.hiphoosier.com/the-beat/2007/5/2/status-anxiety-and-what-happened-at-virginia-tech-pt-1.html</a> Licensed under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5</a>.</p> Language A language of the resource eng Title A name given to the resource Status Anxiety and What Happened at Virginia Tech Pt. 1 blog status anxiety students Document A resource containing textual data.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Brent Jesiek Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource AJ Meyer Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-08-05 Description An account of the resource <b>Yesterday we talked about Status Anxiety and how it related to the Virginia Tech shootings. Today we continue talking about it and focus in on Alain de Button&#39;s book by the same title <i>Status Anxiety</i>.</b> Part of understanding Status anxiety is viewing the transition from status that was given by heredity to a system where people who don&#39;t earn status are seen as failures. The example used in Alain de Button&#39;s book is that of Christianity the major religion of western societies and the one that the VT shooter ranted about in the infamous videos sent to NBC. The gospels have three stories that Jesus told during his life time that provide an example of how people were viewed. The first story is summarized as, "The poor are not responsible for their condition and are the most useful in society." The second story says, "Low status has no moral connotations," and the final story says, "The rich are sinful and corrupt and owe their wealth to their robbery of the poor," aka, "It is harder for a rich man to enter heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle." Now contrast those with the stories that have emerged in our western societies. The first of these says, "The rich are the useful ones, not the poor." The second says, "One&#39;s status does have moral connotations," and the final alteration to the stories surmises that, "The poor are sinful and corrupt and owe their poverty to their stupidity." This is a form of meritocracy. In this system, "all persons, however humble, know they have had every chance...If they have been labeled dunce repeatedly they cannot any longer pretend...Are they not bound to recognize that they have an inferior status, not as in the past because they were denied opportunity, but because they ARE inferior." All of this plays into the recent shootings because something of this magnitude generates questions that demand answers. Questions like, how could this have be prevented? What causes people to act out in such a violent fashion? Is there anything that we can do to prevent these types of incidents in the future? The shooter at Virginia Tech really doesn&#39;t stand out from other recent school shootings because in each case the shooters had similar personalities. Whether we are thinking of the killers from Columbine or the most recent shooting at Virginia Tech the common thread is people who are unhappy about their status in life. So how do we stop this from happening again? How do we beat this. Alain de Botton shares some suggestions that have worked in the past and continue to work in various degrees. He lists these as philosophy, intelligent misanthropy, art, Christianity, and finally bohemia. The book goes into great detail on each of these solutions, but the common theme is that they help people find value in their lives despite what those around them might be saying or despite what society at large is pushing upon them. John Ruskin is quoted in Button&#39;s book and in my estimation does a good job summing up the problem and the solution. He says, "There is not wealth but life, life including all its powers of love, of joy and of admiration. That country is richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings; that man is richest who, having perfected the function of his own life to the utmost." My hope is that the few people that read this stop comparing themselves to everyone else and start living their lives. John Lennon famously said, "Life is what happens when you&#39;re busy making other plans. " Could this be translated as &#39;life is what happens when we&#39;re comparing ourselves to others?&#39; I know I too have experienced this reality. The hope is that in the future we will learn to recognize more situations that are happening right here right now. Personally I would be fine with becoming successful or popular or even having money. In fact I think status anxiety in moderation is a good thing. I just don&#39;t want you and I to HAVE to get rich, famous, or powerful to view our lives as a success. I&#39;m sure that the VT shooter was a disturbed person and might have needed hospitalization, medication, and more but there are other people out there right now who just want to be recognized for the person they are .

Este fue el peor tiroteo dentro de una institución universitaria en la historia de Estados Unidos. Anoche se llevó a cabo una vigilia con velas. Ayer temprano el Presidente Bush habló en un servicio religioso que tuvo lugar en el campus. <b>El Presidente Bush</b> dijo: "Para cuando culminó la mañana, había sido el peor día de violencia en el campus de una universidad en la historia de Estados Unidos. Y para muchos de los que se encuentran hoy aquí, fue el peor día de sus vidas. Es imposible comprender tanta violencia y sufrimiento". El Presidente Bush ordenó que la bandera de la nación se izara a media asta. Marisa Plescia se encontraba entre los estudiantes de la Universidad Virginia Tech que estuvieron presentes en el servicio religioso. <b>Marisa Plescia</b> dijo: "Posiblemente esta fue la situación más devastadora que me haya tocado vivir. Probablemente ayer fue uno de los días más aterradores de mi vida. Me encontraba en el campus cuando todo comenzó. Simplemente salimos corriendo del campus. Vivo cerca del campus así que regresé a mi auto. Pienso que es realmente importante que todas las personas estemos hoy aquí. Lo que sucedió fue horrible". <B>El estudiante de Virginia Tech Cho Seung-hui de 23 años fue identificado como el asesino</b> El servicio religioso se realizó horas después de que el Jefe de la Policía de Virginia Tech, Wendell Flinchum, identificara al estudiante responsable de la masacre. <b>Wendell Flinchum</b> dijo: "Pudimos confirmar la identidad del atacante de Norris Hall. Esta persona es Cho Seung-hui. Era un surcoreano de 23 años de edad que vivía en Estados Unidos como residente extranjero. Cho estaba inscripto como un estudiante no licenciado que cursaba el último año del doctorado de Inglés en Virginia Tech. Cho se encontraba en Estados Unidos con una residencia establecida en Centerville, Virginia, y vivía en el campus en Harper Hall". La Policía dice que Cho Seung-hui se suicidó luego de asesinar a balazos a una treintena de estudiantes y miembros del cuerpo docente en la residencia universitaria Harper Hall. <b>Profesores dicen que advirtieron a las autoridades universitarias sobre Seung-hui</b> Mientras tanto, un par de profesores de inglés de Virginia Tech revelaron que anteriormente habían advertido a los funcionarios de la universidad sobre Cho Seung-hui. Un compañero de clases dijo que sus escritos eran "muy gráficos" y "extremadamente inquietantes". Lucinda Roy, directora del departamento de inglés de la universidad, habló con NBC News. <b>Lucinda Roy</b> dijo: "Sentí que debía sacarlo de mi clase porque no estaba a gusto con el hecho de que estuviera con los estudiantes, y los propios estudiantes habían expresado su incomodidad. Le dije una y otra vez &#39;por favor recibe asesoramiento, yo misma te llevo&#39; porque estaba sumamente deprimido". Dos compañeros de habitación de Cho Seung-hui le dijeron a la CNN que hablaba sobre suicidarse y había acosado a tres mujeres del campus. Uno de ellos afirmó que Cho había exhibido "grandes señales de advertencia" en el pasado. El martes, el Gobernador de Virginia, Timothy Kaine, ordenó una revisión independiente sobre la manera en que la Universidad Virginia Tech manejó la masacre del lunes. <b>Coreanos temen reacción de los estadounidenses tras el tiroteo</b> Las secuelas del tiroteo en Virginia Tech también están siendo monitoreadas de cerca en Corea del Sur. El titular del sitio web del periódico Korea Herald dice: "Masacre pone en alerta a coreanos que residen en Estados Unidos". Residentes de Seúl expresaron su preocupación por las reacciones que los estadounidenses de origen coreano puedan afrontar. <b>Un hombre surcoreano</b> dijo: "Quedé impactado cuando escuché que el asesino del tiroteo en Virginia Tech había sido identificado como un estudiante surcoreano. Como surcoreano, me preocupa que las personas surcoreanas que viven en Estados Unidos sean prejuzgadas por su origen". Actualmente hay aproximadamente cien mil estudiantes coreanos en Estados Unidos. En este país, la Asociación de Periodistas Asiático-Estadounidenses está exhortando a las agencias de noticias a que sean cuidadosas cuando mencionan el origen étnico o el estatus de inmigrante del atacante. En una declaración, el grupo dijo: "Nos preocupa el hecho de que algunos medios de comunicación destacan que el sospechoso es un inmigrante de Corea del Sur, cuando tal dato no aporta nada y es irrelevante en la noticia". -- Fuente Original: <a href="http://verbal.democracynow.org/es/2007/4/18/titulares">http://verbal.democracynow.org/es/2007/4/18/titulares</a> Licencia de uso: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/deed.es"> Creative Commons Reconocimiento-NoComercial-SinObraDerivada 3.0 Estados Unidos.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Elva Orozco Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jorge Majfud Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-08-06 Description An account of the resource Publicado por Jorge Majfud viernes, abril 20, 2007 La mayoría de las medicinas que se venden en forma de píldoras, recubren una determinada droga, químico o compuesto con una capa de color atractivo y gusto dulce. En español, la sabiduría popular usa esta particularidad para construir una metáfora: "tragarse la píldora" tiene una connotación negativa y expresa la acción de consumir una cosa con la forma o el gusto de otra. Es decir, creer o aceptar una verdad como hecho incuestionable sin ser conscientes de las verdaderas implicaciones. En la tradición literaria, este fenómeno epistemológico se entendía con la metáfora del caballo de Troya, también usado hoy en día para designar virus informáticos. Un ideoléxico puede entenderse como una pastilla que el discurso hegemónico prescribe e impone con seductora violencia. Por ejemplo, el ideoléxico libertad viene recubierto de una plétora de lugares comunes y dulcemente positivos (la libertad, como precepto universal lo es). Sin embargo, dentro de este recubrimiento dulce y brillante se esconden las verdaderas razones de las acciones: la dominación, la opresión, la violencia de los intereses sectarios, etc. El recubrimiento dulce y brillante anula la percepción se sus opuestos: el contenido amargo y opaco. La tarea del crítico consiste en romper la envoltura, en des-cubrir, en des-velar el contenido de la píldora, del ideoléxico. Claro que esta tarea tiene resultados amargos, como el centro de la píldora. Los adictos a una droga no renunciarán a ella sólo porque alguien descubra las graves implicaciones de su confort momentáneo. De hecho, se resistirán a esta operación de exposición. Analicemos un ideoléxico común en el discurso dominante del capitalismo tardío: la responsabilidad personal. De entrada vemos que su cobertura es del todo dulce y brillante. ¿Quién sería capaz de discutir el valor de la responsabilidad de cada individuo? Un posible cuestionamiento sería rápidamente anulado por una falsa alternativa: la irresponsabilidad. Pero podemos comenzar problematizando el nuevo falso dilema observando que el mismo adjetivo —personal— de este ideoléxico compuesto anula o anestesia otro menos común y más difícil de apreciar por los sentidos: no se menciona la posibilidad de la existencia de una "responsabilidad social". Tampoco se habla o se acepta —en base a una larga tradición religiosa— que puedan existir "pecados sociales". Vayamos más al centro de un caso concreto: la trágica matanza ocurrida en la Universidad de Virginia Tech. Quienes pusieron el dedo acusador —tímidamente, como siempre— en la cultura de las armas en Estados Unidos, fueron criticados en nombre del ideoléxico de la responsabilidad personal. "No son las armas las que matan gentes —comentó un amigo del rifle en un diario— sino la gente misma. El problema está en los individuos, no en las armas". La píldora muestra un alto grado de obviedad, pero lleva nuevamente otros problemas: nadie cuestionó cómo podría hacer un desquiciado para matar a treinta personas con una piedra, con un palo o, incluso, con un cuchillo. Esta lógica se expresa cubriendo una contradicción interna del discurso. Cuando se habla de drogas, se culpa a los productores, no a los consumidores. Pero cuando se habla de armas, se culpa del mal a los consumidores, no a los productores. La razón estriba, entiendo, en el lugar que ocupa el poder. En el caso de las drogas, los productores son los otros, no nosotros; en el caso de las armas, los consumidores son los otros; nosotros nos limitamos a su producción. El discurso hegemónico nunca menciona que si no existiese el consumo de drogas en los países ricos no existiría la producción que satisface la demanda; si no existiera esta calamidad en la ilegalidad tampoco existirían las mafias de narcotraficantes. O su existencia sería raquítica, en comparación a lo que es hoy. Pero como los otros (los productores de los países pobres) son los responsables individuales, nosotros (los productores de armas, los responsables administradores de la ley) estamos legitimados para producir más armas que los otros deberán consumir, para respaldar la ley —y para quebrantarla. Si alguien, como el asesino de Virginia Tech compra un par de armas con más facilidad y cien veces más rápido con que uno puede comprar un auto, y comete una masacre, toda la responsabilidad radica en el desquiciado. Entonces, se llega a una trágica paradoja: una sociedad armada hasta los dientes está a la merced de los desquiciados que no saben ejercer correctamente su responsabilidad personal. Para corregir este problema, no se recurre a la responsabilidad social, combatiendo las armas y el sistema económico y moral que lo sustenta, sino vendiendo más armas a los individuos responsables, para que cada uno pueda ejercer con más fuerza su propia "responsabilidad personal". Hasta que vuelve a aparecer alguien excepcionalmente enfermo —en una sociedad de santos los demonios son excepciones muy frecuentes— y comete otra masacre, esta vez más grande, ya que el poder de destrucción de las armas siempre se perfecciona, gracias a la alta tecnología y a la moral de los individuos responsables. - Jorge Majfud, escritor uruguayo, es profesor de Literatura Latinoamericana en The University of Georgia, Estados Unidos -- Fuente Original: Blog Vamos a Cambiar el Mundo Sin Tomar el Poder <a href="http://jbcs.blogspot.com/2007/04/virginia-tech-un-anlisis-ideolxico-de.html">http://jbcs.blogspot.com/2007/04/virginia-tech-un-anlisis-ideolxico-de.html</a> Licencia de uso: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/es/"> Creative Commons Reconocimiento-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 2.5 España.

Liviu Librescu, de doble nacionalidad israelí y estadounidense y que nació en Rumania, se mudó hace dos décadas a Estados Unidos, donde daba clases en el Departamento de Ingeniería Científica y Mecánica en el Instituto Politécnico de Virginia y en la Universidad del Estado. Aunque tenía 76 años y había superado hace mucho tiempo la edad para jubilarse, todavía daba clases en la Universidad Tecnológica cuando el lunes surgió el caos en Norris Hall, el edificio del campus donde un hombre armado identificado como Cho Seung-Hui, de 23 años, abrió fuego y mató a 32 personas antes de suicidarse. Los estudiantes describieron cómo Librescu usó su cuerpo para bloquear una puerta frente a Cho para que ellos pudieran escapar saltando por la ventana de la clase, que se encontraba en un segundo piso. Algunos se rompieron la pierna al caer, pero sobrevivieron. Librescu murió tiroteado durante el asalto. Se ha creado un santuario improvisado para el fallecido profesor en el campus, con flores y una fotografía suya. &#39;Era un hombre excepcionalmente tolerante que fue el mentor para académicos de todo nuestro convulsionado mundo&#39;, afirmó Ishwar Puri, jefe de su departamento, en una declaración escrita que fue enviada a la prensa. Estudiantes que sobrevivieron a la masacre en Norris Hall hablaron sobre conserjes de la universidad que, mientras Cho abría fuego en el segundo piso, corrieron a ayudar a otros en lugar de salvarse. &#39;Los conserjes llegaron corriendo y les dijeron a todos que salieran&#39;, dijo Nick Vozza, de 20 años, quien estaba en el sótano del edificio cuando Cho inició el tiroteo dos pisos más arriba. En una clase de alemán, unos pocos alumnos intentaron bloquear la puerta contra la embestida de las balas y luego trataron de echar una mano a sus compañeros heridos mientras esperaban la ayuda, dijo Trey Perkins a Fox News. De los 15 estudiantes que estaban en su clase, sólo unos seis salieron con vida, declaró Perkins. Numerosos estudiantes vistieron el martes de granate y naranja, los colores de la universidad, en una muestra de solidaridad por la tragedia -- Fuente Original: 20minutos.es - España <a href="http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/224441/0/EEUU/TIROTEO/HEROISMO/">http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/224441/0/EEUU/TIROTEO/HEROISMO/</a> Licencia de uso: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.1/es/"> Creative Commons Reconocimiento 2.1 España.
