What did we Forget?

Ok so Im layng on the couch. It's about 8:30pm and the phone rings. Mollye picks up and it's her brother on the other end. I could hear him through the phone. He said Happy 4/20, referring to the date. I immediatly thought, "what? today's Columbine, I forgot". If I'm corret so did everyone else. Not that it's as bad as 9/11 nor is it something worthy to have a day off to enjoy a Columbine sale at Pennny's or Filenes Basement, Noresunds, Robinson May, Target, Walmart, Kmart, Ikea, Macy's, Best Buy, Circuit City, Fry's etc etc like Memorial Day, Easter, Martin Luther King Day, 4th of July, and Labour Day (a day retail stores should be able to enjoy too). Im looking forward to the soon to come 9/11 sales.

Columbine changed alot of things. Alot of schools went a major alert. Every little thing (at least in my old school) triggered an evacuation and the arrival of the police department and the fire department. I was in college at the time and right before Columbine I made some visits to my high school often to visit my brother, my than girlfriend and some of my old teachers.
After Columbine I would visit and get the occasional frisk, bared witness to numerous fire alarm evacuatuons, and I noticed that security gaurds now walked the hallways during school hours.

Columbine impacted most of out lives tremendously. My work had CNN on all day and I didn't hear anyone mention what today was. Kind like how on this past 9/11 their were very little reports. Do we forget so quickly?

Well I don't really have much to say after this. I guess I'll see you all at the 9/11 Ikea sale.
