I agree with everyone that what happened at NIU is horrible. Guns have caused so much pain in the United States. Like others have said most of us are going off to college next year. We have to think about the fact that this could possibly actually happen where we go. My mom asked me while we were watching the coverage on Northern, "What would you do." It is an interesting question I think. I said I would get on the ground on crawl to the exit. It seems knowledgeable enough. This guy came to my gym class the day after the shooting. He had been in the classroom and he told us how you don't think about anything. Your mind goes blank and you just know that you have to get out. I have also heard a lot of people think that it wasn't really happening. It is freaky to think about but with what happened at NIU and at VT it is better to be safe than sorry.
Answering Charles question, I was also surprised that Fidel Castro stepped down. You don't see many dictators stepping down from that kind of post. I don't see peace coming between the US and Cuba. It would be nice if it would but it doesn't seem like a plausible option with what has happened in the past. I am interested to see what is going to happen in the future.
