I'm not sure seeing Cho's ravings brings anything close to closure. If anything, it fuels fear, of which we've had a bellyfull in this country since the Coming of George.
I urge everyone to consider substituting "crazy" with "people with mental illness." There's so much stigma attached to the "crazy" label. It ranks right up there with calling people who have mental retardation "retards." As I keep saying, there is immense power in language and labels that can perpetuate intolerance.
As for Cho specifically, it is painful and disprespectful to promote him to media stardom, however negative the context, don't you think? For all of us to some extent, but especially to the families and friends of the Virginia Tech victims. The media feeding frenzy is really pretty disgusting.
