Can you imagine...

"I will sell to anyone as long as the delivery address is not in Kalifornia"

So the next business is freight forwarding into CA from Nevada.

The more the media gives attention to how bad a candidate would be in office, or goes after them personally is a VERY good indicator we should see if they are worth supporting.

The opposite is true as well. Remember all those glowing reviews of king zero in 2008? You would have thought he came from the land of unicorns and rainbows - oh wait, he did...

The irony is that Communism still has killed more people than weapons at school by about 6 orders of magnitude.

You give a lot of credit to China in your analogy. A day or two at the printing press and we could give enough (funny) money to China to pay off the debt. China is tired of the fed making their debt worthless by inflating our dollar, but without the US market, they will have trouble with their expanding economy. Not much they can do. It is like two kids sitting in a pond of gasoline. One has 5 matches and the other has the box with the striker.

Ok, that was funny right there, I don't care who you are, that was Funny.

This is exactly the argument I made against our weapons policy. I held up my pen and said that I could kill anyone in this room in seconds with hundreds of items in this classroom including this pen. What is your definition of a weapon?

They all looked at me with shock and then realized that I was right. The policy was re-worded to capture intent of the person with the "weapon."

Exactly! This is why the selection of an Administrator with common sense and the motivation to use it is so important.

Go to a school board meeting, have a conversation with your school's superintendent and then vote!

The problem is that too few Americans understand why the government fears guns.

This is what happens when there are so few of us selecting school superintendents.

Our school board had a long talk about the guns at school policy. I wanted to get rid of it and ended up being out voted. It was so broad and so poorly defined that all I could do is make sure there was room in it to protect the rights of young children that mean no harm. This relies on the good judgement of our superintendent - we found the only conservative one in the state and hired him. If he is replaced at some later date, I fear for the kids as the policy could easily be abused in this way.

Next year I hope to have an NRA gun safety event on campus and try get rid of the gun policy after that. The sooner kids learn that guns aren't the problem, the better off our community will be.

Thanks for that post - it made my day. We have another board meeting coming up this week and it is nice to know that I am not alone.
