The shooting was bad enough, but what I heard yesterday morning, makes for even MORE concern.

I saw an interview with a Lt Colonel who has spent much of his career teaching Psychology at West Point. I got the idea that part of his curriculum had to do with things like desensitization in combat and the stresses of combat and things such as that.

He was VERY passionate and what he had to say made me pray that he is wrong, but he seems like someone who knows what he's talking about. He said that due to the desensitization toward killing that is becoming more prevalant by video games and other forces in society, that what we saw at Sandy Hook and the other shootings in recent years is just the beginning and that this sort of thing will be accelerating dramatically.

We all need to hope that this guy is WRONG, but I'm afraid he might be right.
