Asked Quote by Sara Farizan
““Do you think the Y2K thing is going to mess everything up? Katie asked. "I don't know. I think everything's already messed up after Columbine. Like, what kind of world do we live in if you can get shot up in your high school?" "That was horrible. But I think it's kind of a one-time thing. People won't stand for that kind of tragedy to keep happening.””
