I feel it is necessary to defend Marie's argument and challenge your
interpretation of where she was coming from.

I believe that is possible to look to any cultural context around the
world to discover that leaders and dictators have been resonsible for mass
killings. I acknowledge that these leaders are men so we do have a
problem with the issues of masculinity, power, violence and control.
These men, however, are leaders of nations of military movements and the
small town white boys are just that-- SMALL TOWN WHITE BOYS who have been
held responsible for the massacre like crimes in the schools.

So, how do the issues of masculinity, power, violence and control factor
into the acts of these young boys?

I have no answers on this matter but am interested in pushing open the
discussion.
