25 pages into the new (and hopefully improved) work, Word froze. I only lost a page, but I took that as a sign to take a break. Made some lunch and checked the news. Found this:

"Sophie Lancaster was killed for being a grunger, or goth. Helen Pidd interviewed her mother and young goths who can't understand the blows, rocks, bricks and abuse their appearance attracts"

I wrote a bit about that in my journal last month. At least the boys responsible were found guilty, though it's a small comfort.

I can't understand why no one writing reports about school shootings ever links things like this, its preposterous. If my kids decide to express themselves in an unpopular manner, I'm going to have them take shooting lessons and give them handguns.

Also, its always sad to me, as someone who grew up as a bit of an anglophile, to discover just how much worse things appear to be in the UK then they are here, atleast when it comes to street level violence.
