    The Columbine crime-scene photos have been leaked and are expected to be published at least in the net, but probably in tabloids as well.

    I agree that it was a horrific incident and my initial reaction to the idea of the pictures of massacred kids in bloodstained classrooms was revulsion.

    However, why not make something good come out of all this? In UK they are using pictures of a dead 22-year drug-addict in anti-drug campaigns with the full support of the addict's parents.

    So why not go ahead and make use of all the Columbine photos in anti-gun campaigns with slogans like "This is not what our Founding Fathers would have wanted". Wake up the America to see that private, loosely controlled ownership of guns is not normal anywhere in the world except in the US and that it can result in disasters like Columbine. That would require permission from victims' parents, but I can't believe that any sane Columbine parent would refuse it after the bloodbath.

  4. Slashdot subscription conundrum. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The real issue with /. subscriptions is their contradiction with the fundamental philosophies of this site.
    Users provide the stories (with links & research). Readers also moderate the discussions (without this vital moderation the dicussions would be so hard to wade through that they would be pointless).
    So, we provide the content, and the moderation which provides the means for discussion... and we are supposed to pay for this? We are supposed to pay to be allowed to do Taco and Friends' job for them?
    I find an interesting story, find a couple good background info links, and submit the story. Taco clicks "Accepted", and it goes live. Then he goes back to masturbating to Cowboy Bebop soundtracks, while I moderate his discussion about MY article, so that the site is usable. Again, I'm supposed to pay for this?
