A lost boy in America's killing fields
Article Abstract:
Many people have blamed the media for the fact that 17-year-old Kipland P. Kinkel opened fire with two pistols at Thurston High School in Oregon. They feel that there is far too much violence on television and that American teenagers have lost respect for authority. Kinkel, whose actions killed two schoolmates, was known to be obsessed with guns and explosives. He had an explosive temper, and had already attended an anger management programme.

Critics of the Reform party believe that it is running an extremely divisive campaign.
