After all, we don't want to hurt anyone's self-esteem by leaving them out as we hold up exemplary achievement as a mark to be emulated.

A woman stabbed four people at a Target store in LA before an off-duty sheriff's deputy stopped her. I, for one, am sick and tired of reading stories about people being stabbed by knives. It's high time we banned private ownership of knives. All knives. They kill people.
