Watching BBC News last evening on DirecTV, I learned that Germany has suffered a rash of high school shootings over the past 8 years. School Killings Shake Germany to the Core [IHT]. Surprisingly (or not, sadly) we in the United States hardly ever hear of serious issues facing other nations, even when in reality they are American cultural exports. In the aftermath of Virginia Tech, one would think a story like this — how adolescent shootings are a dark side of almost all developed nations without gun control — would have received more attention.
