"We've forgotten how to fight back"

A deputy sheriff in Denver and an Army veteran writes:

"I don't blame the [Virginia Tech] victims for their own demise. I blame the non-confrontational attitude in America that may have stopped someone from fighting back. The basic human instinct of survival has been tamped down by the reemergence of the "Make love, not war" peacenik movement of the '60s, especially on our college campuses. Our kids are being taught to avoid conflict and try to reason with the unreasonable." . . . .

Thanks to Dan Gifford for sending this to me.
