:24:02
I suppose in one way you could
say that what happened
:24:05
at Columbine High School
is a microcosm, uh...
:24:07
of what happens
throughout the world.
:24:10
- You know the signs
that we see around here,
:24:13
the ones that say:
"We Are Columbine,"
:24:15
is that how you,
Lockheed Martin, feels,
:24:18
that you're the biggest employer
here in Littleton,
:24:20
you're the biggest weapons-
maker? "We Are Columbine."
:24:22
- I think we probably
embody that spirit,
:24:25
that, yeah, we're all members
of this community
:24:27
and that it behoves us to help
one another and to reach out
:24:30
to assist one another, yeah.
:24:32
- He told us that no one
in Littleton,
:24:34
including the executives
:24:35
at Lockheed, could figure out
why the boys at Columbine
:24:39
had resorted to violence.
:24:40
- Why would kids do this?
:24:42
Uh, some of the root of that
probably has to do
:24:47
with their anger
about various issues
:24:50
and we became aware of a program
:24:53
that provides
anger-management training.
:24:54
And so we made
a $100,000 contribution
:24:58
to the Jefferson County schools
to use this training
:25:01
in the schools. We hope to help
both teachers and students
:25:05
learn alternative ways
to deal with anger.
:25:09
- So you don't think our kids
say to themselves:
:25:12
"Well, gee, Dad goes off
:25:14
to the factory every day
and, you know,
:25:16
he built missiles." These
are weapons of mass destruction.
:25:20
What's the difference
between that mass destruction
:25:22
and the mass destruction
over at Columbine High School?
:25:26
- I guess I don't see
that connection,
:25:27
that specific connection,
because the missiles
:25:32
that you're talking about were
built and designed to defend us
:25:35
from somebody else who would be
aggressors against us.
:25:38
Societies and countries
and governments do things
:25:40
that annoy one another.
:25:42
But we have to learn
to deal with that annoyance
:25:46
or that anger or that
frustration in appropriate ways.
:25:49
We don't get irritated
with somebody
:25:51
and just 'cause we're mad
at them, uh,
:25:53
drop a bomb or shoot at them,
or fire a missile at them.
