What's the world come to?

Okay, amongst all of my school work is my internship at WIBX. I hear a lot of news, unfortunately, yesterday was a day I didn't hear about it in the newsroom. Most of it was on the 11 o'clock news. So for those of you that didn't know, yesterday was the 7 year anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting in Littleton, Colorado. That was a day I think that shocked the entire United States to the core. It was actually a spure of school shootings around that time, but Columbine being the worst by far. I think people finally realized that schools aren't safe. Many then went to searchs and metal detectors and police officers. Things that parents thought would never be in schools. A fear swept among parents thinking that their child could be heading off to school for the last time. I was scared to go to school around that time. I never knew what would come everyday at school. The past few years have been really quiet as far as school shootings are concerned, until yesterday. A school in Kansas was supposed to be the next "Columbine" according to some students. A message on MySpace stated that all students at this school show wear a bullet proof vest to school on Thursday the 20th. Thankfully, the police were able to foil the plot before anything happened. Several guns were found in the kids' homes. So I pose the question that I thought of 7 years ago, what is the world coming to? There are accidents every day in this country, right? People die all the time in automobile accidents. We had an accident locally yesterday that killed 3 teenagers that were seniors at a local high school. 2 months to go, and they are killed in a car accident. The car hit a tree, was split into two and half of it ended up in a lake. It's just so sad to think of what the school community, family and friends are going through. I know the hype that comes behind graduation. This year it is going to be a very sad year for everyone involved. That wasn't the only accident locally yesterday. A guy on a motorcycle was hit by a truck and killed. You see these accidents every day and you just think it could never happen to you, but the truth is it can happen to anyone. It really makes you start to think about your own driving. Maybe even slow down a little and take a little longer or leave yourself a little more time. So I pose the question: What's the world coming to?
