ELEPHANTS
Rage can also cause terrible events such as the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, in 1999, This inspired Gus Van Sant´s 2003 film, Elephant, but why did he use that title? The term "the elephant in the room" refers to a problem that no one talks about, but everyone knows exists. Then we have pink elephants and white elephants. People see pink elephants when they are drunk. A white elephant, on the other hand, is something that is both useless and expensive. This phrase comes from East Asia where people gave their enemies a white elephant in order to ruin them. (Speak Up 241 - June 2007)
