It's about the right time period. And it rang true with me and a lot of others of my generation. Some of us have basically grown up with your premises even if we didn't know where they came from. And now I'm very interested in the details. Will definitely have to include your book in my next Amazon shipment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-1159869481906202012006-10-03T05:58:00.000-04:002006-10-03T05:58:00.000-04:00Reminds me very much about Stand Alone Complex (se...Reminds me very much about Stand Alone Complex (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_Alone_Complex for definition...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-1159842345148034272006-10-02T22:25:00.000-04:002006-10-02T22:25:00.000-04:00This essay was penned after the Colorado incident,...This essay was penned after the Colorado incident, then slightly updated after the Wisconsin shooting.<BR/><BR/>Versions of it exist, in a continously updated fashion, at copycateffect.comLoren Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10705306131201565523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-1159840133547128092006-10-02T21:48:00.000-04:002006-10-02T21:48:00.000-04:00So... did you post this before or after the Amish ...So... did you post this before or after the Amish shooting?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
