WRITER DOESN'T VALUE PRIVACY IT SEEMS

Odd how the writer on one letter ("Liberals Let Murders Happen") openly attacks liberals and blames them for what happened at Virginia Tech.

Stranger still, he hasn't sought to link them to the Columbine massacre, or the Tacoma Mall shooting, or even the Stockton California school shooting which left 5 kids dead back in 1989; with 29 wounded--including one teacher.

As a result, an assault weapons ban was imposed; starting in 1994.

Is this the liberals fault for wanting to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of nut cases like Patrick Purdy?

In the case of Seung-Hui Cho, this kid may have been disturbed and isolated--but he wasn't like Purdy.

He was a student at Virginia Tech. Not a drifter. Not an illegal immigrant. But an American citizen!

Having the government free access to our medical and psychological history profiles would be inviting disaster on a scale that would dwarf anything we have fought and died for--these last 231 years: Our rights to absolute privacy.

The writer may be comfortable with this gross invasion of privacy, but I would never be.

And it shouldn't even be tinkered with. No matter what the circumstance!
