    So then these are the steps?

    1. Mankind makes guns and uses them responsibly for self defense for hundreds of years. 2. Lies, murder, intolerance and complete absence of honor and integrity becomes the accepted standard for attaining success and power, and the history/example for children 3. These children reproduce that history and follow that example through violence. 4. Remove the liars and assholes from any position of power.

      We don't have to ignore that. In fact let's address your the influence of your conspiracy theories on Cho, the Columbine boys and others. Did they reference JFK's 40-year-old assassination as a motive? Or did they speak about at length about their perceived insignificance and general disdain for others?

                Having visited the book repository in Dallas, I think it's perfectly within reason that one person who was skilled with a gun could pull it off. However, I have my own theories. There was one person who was very obssessed with both Jackie O and Marilyn Monroe and it stands to reason that, being in love with both, that person was both jealous and enraged by JFK's supposed affair...Andy Warhol did it.

                  According to George Tenet himself (who is trying to undermine the president since he was fired), all the intelligence he provided to the president said there was plenty of WMD. Also "lying" and committing perjury are two very different things,

                          and not just the next school district over either. Alternative schools are regional and filled exclusively with people who've been booted from their original location. Most of those students will have a criminal record with real crimes as opposed to thought crimes on it. The academics will probably be exclusively at the remedial level since generally good students don't get expelled. Assuming this kid is an average or better student (reasonable since a stupid person probably wouldn't be able to use the map editor) he'll be either bored out of his mind or doing an all day independent study and almost completely isolated from the other inmates in his school

                            Did you ever stop to consider that maybe this kid was a problem to begin with and this just made the school fear that he was going to act?

                              Police busting in on suspicion of drugs? It's not uncommon. The local cops here pretty near blew up one of my landlord's other properties about a year ago; threw in a bunch of those little rubber grenades (can't remember what they're called, they throw out a bunch of little rubber balls), blew out the windows, ruined the carpets, walls, etc. AFAIK, no drugs were found, nor were the tenants even home... It's pretty much ridiculous.

                                      So you don't require proof, you don't question, you just blindly believe any lie your republican masters tell you? Is that the definition of a Democracy, a Republic, that the founders had for our country?

                                        How did I avoid it? I told you that I believed was a perfectly reasonable theory. Since I have no reason to disbelieve it, then I suppose I believe it. It's just not something I devote much thought to (which contradicts your theory that it's somehow all-encompasing) or care all that much about. But if you're so adamantly against the magic bullet theory, you should visit the book repository and see what a clear shot Oswald actually had.

                                          Democrats were in charge of that investigation...
