self loathing

David Brooks is one of the Op-Ed Columnists of the NYTimes. After devoting one of his pieces to the reported conclusions of Columbine, Brooks got the first and only media interview with two of the parents of the killers: Tom and Sue Klebold- their son, Dylan Klebold, was one of the murderers. (This summer I read Columbine. And I will say it is one of the most remarkable books I’ve ever read. Since our generation was so young when this happened, I think 11, it clears up a lot of rumors and myths about what really happened. If you have the stomach for it, I highly recommend it.)

And for most of you who know me well know that I love the NYTimes- and know that I love the NYTimes Op-Ed page more than anything else. Now is the beginning of me posting the best of articles. As dubbed by my dad as “must read column of the year” I couldn’t agree more. Please check it out. With lines like “Today, immodesty is as ubiquitous as advertising…” you can only want to read more.
