Acceding to Ghosts

WHEN I HEARD THAT THE SCHOOL WHERE all those kids and adults were murdered a little over a year ago was being torn down, I immediately understood why, and anyone would. And let's all agree that it has much more to do with human primal fear and irrational superstition than pragmatic common sense. And that's not a put down of us, its simply the truth. On a purely pragmatic level, there was/is no reason whatever to tear down a perfectly good school building. Heaven knows its expensive enough to build a new even when its really needed. Its not like we can afford to tear down buildings every time something really bad happens inside them. If ghoests of the murdered are going to linger, is ther less chance that they will linger in a replacement bilding than the original? somehow must know the answer to that, but I don't. Obviously, we as a people believe in ghosts enough to tear down a perfectly good building, and spend millions of dollars replacing it. O(ld bildings are haunted at a high rate, but the one in which the shootings took place wasn't very old. The ghosts of children come forth often; they did not know they were gong to die, and are confused, and upset, so the theory goes. when the new schooo bilding inNewtown gets up and running, I hope they have some sort of monument to the victims, like a wall with names, or something. NOt just to appease ghosts or honor the fallen, but as a reminded that we must all strive ceaselessly to sliminate cush violence from our world.
