“This event is like a raw nerve in the community,” Bern-stein said. “For many, it’s like it happened yesterday. Although it’s healing, it’s still a deep wound. A town that did not have the strength of character of these people probably would not have survived.
“I think it offers lessons to those dealing with what happened at Columbine and Virginia Tech.”

Sure. Your final line makes you look exactly like members of the sect that celebrates and pimps victimhood as a fetish. Benign enough to society in general, but the virulent form of it comes in legislation that serves the freedom-sufficating leftie causes thru feelgoodism.
Don’t PM me again until you have appeared on oprah at least twice.
Nope, I wasn’t celebrating and pimping victimhood as a fetish. But these people survived something horrible as a community, bolstered by their deep sense of community and faith in G-d. And yes, that does offer lessons in how to cope through senseless tragedies like these terrible school shootings. And knowing someone who recently lost friends in the Northern Illinois University shooting, I fully believe that the people of Bath have shown how to cope and survive with such horror.
If you think what I said is a call for legislation via feelgoodism, you’re sadly mistaken. It is strength of character that the people of Bath showed. No call for needless and pointless laws; how can you make strength of character a point of law? That comes from within not via laws. That has nothing to do with my politics or beliefs; I don’t know how you interpreted all that out of my quote.
If you can get me on Oprah, I’d be eternally grateful by the way, since it would do wonders for book sales!
