Where are the fathers?

It was inevitable that the mourning of Friday’s massacre in Connecticut would be accompanied by a discussion of the ills of American society. It was to be expected, as well, that the horror of the 27 people shot dead — 20 young children, six adults, and the murderer’s own mother — would lead to renewed calls for stricter gun-control legislation.

Other topics examined since the shocking mass slaughter at an elementary school in a crime-free neighborhood, perpetrated by a 20-year-old male computer genius who lived in a mansion with his divorced mother, have been violent video games, mental illness, and the rise in the number of similar incidents of arbitrary killings by disturbed outcasts.

Since all the above are related to civil liberties granted by the Constitution, this issue, too, has been the subject of many expert-laden talk shows, as has the question of whether incessant news broadcasting doesn’t encourage copy-cats.

Yes, everything has been turned over and looked at every which way — except for one.
