What about the murders that weren't at Virginia Tech?

33 dead. It's a tragedy. It's shocking. Why? Perhaps only because what we consider so routine we ignore it on a daily basis happened all in one place, on one morning.

Some 16 thousand murders happen each year in the United States. That's about 45 people murdered each day.

45 people.

Killed.

Each day.

Every day.

In our country. In these United States of America.

Where's the outrage about that? We hear about the troubled student and oh, what are we going to do about that? -- that kind of stuff. But what about all the troubled men -- and they are mostly men doing the killing -- what are we going to do about them?

Since that tragedy at Virginia Tech, how many more have been killed? When is that going to be a story within the United States?

So NOW can we talk about straight male violence?

What is it that drives men to do this, anyway?

There is something else at work in America than the culture of mean.
