Memorial Reduction

Interesting article in the New York Times on the troubles Columbine has faced in funding and constructing a memorial to victims of the shooting there.

My take on it all, of course, is that if they focused solely on the pain that was inflicted there would have been no trouble raising a couple of million for a meaningful memorial. But, when the city decided instead to become simply a propaganda tool for enemies of the constitution, they rightful lost much of the support and sympathy that America had for them and their tragedy.
