the world has gone crazy

a 21 year old disturbed college student writes belligerent poetry one day and shoots his college-mates 2 years later. my friend loses her room-mate, because some korean kid thought they all had it coming. a professor grumbles that if Virginia Tech hadn't been a gun-free zone, a conveniently placed gun-carrying faculty member could have taken down the errant party. i read something about orkut in the news and am struck by inspiration to track down the celebrity deceased, and to verify the room-mate connection. i find her 'scrapbook' which is full of condolences and false alarms and even a fake herself.
are you alive minal? yes she is, i saw her. here i am! it's a fake ID, bastard! let's all give him a hard time, he's anti Indian spirit.
clearly, our generation has distinctive values. there is a theme to our times. and among other things, we believe that dead people check their email. 22578 scraps at last count, her friend's message plaintively quavers - may you rest in peace,dear.
