what exactly is it about april that fosters so much hatred and violence? surely, its not the month itself. I will admit, I get kind of annoyed when I owe taxes, but not to the extent I would want to take someone's soul over it.
here is an interesting site I found online: http://jerrythegeek.blogspot.com/
and here is some interesting excerpts from that site:.....
Since the Columbine massacre (April 20, 1999), the Oklahoma City Bombing (April, 19, 1995), the Waco (April 19, 1993) outrages, the month of April has been a continuing April festival of horror. And I for one am sick of it.
We are all disgusted by this annual rage of violence and slaughter of the innocents, and we all look for a solution to this distinctive American sickness.
But, what is it about the month of April which leads to such a death toll?[size=4]
April Massacres didn't happen just in America:
April 18, 1995: The Kibeho Tragedy (Rwanda, Africa) - 2000 people massacred in a Rwandan refugee camp.
April 9, 1986: Tblisi, Georgia (the country, not the state) - an Anti-Soviet demonstration leads to a violent 'dispersal' by the Soviet Army, leading to 20 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
April 26, 1986 - The Chernobyl Tragedy.
The deliberate massacres, however, seem (per OKC and Columbine) to be based on Hitler's Birthday: April 20.

We get it.
Hitler was bad news.
That doesn't mean that two kids killed a bunch of people at school because of him. I'm sure they didn't go "So when're we gonna do this thing?"
"I dunno...Hitler's birthday?"
"Yes! Because we LOVE Hitler!"
"Exactly!"

Get your statistics straight and search Wikipedia for how many atrocities the other months can come up with.
If I'd guess, I'd say that you're trying to practice for becoming a writer for MSN.com. Other than that, I don't really get what you're trying to achieve here.

Gobbly got you!!!!
But for what it's worth i also noticed
that alot of bad things happen in April
Naturally my Catholic high school
Religion Teacher sums it all up to the fact that
the Death and Resurrection of Jesus
occurs in April.....
Thus the rest of humanity
will FOREVER be cursed....
and left to deal with
an April tradgedy
every few years
To remind the world of it's evil
Don't forget who's the boss
Seriously though,
VTech was beyond believable
and i can't begin to understand it
Duct tape is like the force....
There's a lightside, a darkside
and it holds everything together

I'm afraid I can't continue to debate this with you any further, seeing as you've just crossed an important line in regards to a minimum of common sense and humanity.

Plus, I'd imagine these days if you asked any random person how "4-20" was significant, most people's first answer would be related to marijuana, not Hitler.
