Real Tweets From Real People - Terry Bradshaw
For Fox's preseason broadcast of Steelers/Eagles in Pittsburgh last night the network decided to place studio analyst Terry Bradshaw in the booth with the A Team of Joe Buck (still suffering the effects of his vocal cord illness) and Troy Aikman. The result was... interesting, to say the least (I was watching reality TV for most of the night, so can't comment definitively either way... c'mon it's preseason football!).
Some viewers apparently loved the different element TB added. I have to say, if memory serves me correctly, Bradshaw did a Sugar Bowl in the booth with Howie Long when Fox had the college football package and did very well. However, most viewers on Twitter thought TB sounded hammered, senile, or something a bit more disturbing. Whatever the case, people were talking about preseason football and Bradshaw's booth cameo. A sign of things to come... or an elaborate ruse from Fox to distract America from its apathy towards Joe Buck. If so, that didn't seem to work.
As always, these are Real Tweets from Real People...

The New Evangelization and Its Connection to Voting In November: Strive To Heal, Elevate and Perfect Our Culture
The New Evangelization and the proper exercise of our voting privilege is connected, since our choice of political candidates plays a significant role in healing, elevating and perfecting our culture and society at large.
Authentic participation in the New Evangelization requires one's proper exercise of the right and duty to vote. But that cannot occur in the absence of careful, reasoned and informed moral discernment; nor can it occur if the hierarchy of evils is ignored when voting. The most relevant question is this: when I stand before Jesus Christ, will I be able to justify my voting choices, or will whatever I say merely be an attempt to rationalize them? The answer to that question makes all the difference.
The goal of the New Evangelization is to foster a transformative encounter with the Person of Jesus Christ and the mysteries of his life, in order to bring about a widespread metanoia, a profound spiritual transformation producing a complete change of heart, which acts as a catalyst for positive change in cultures and societies. It is to bring the light and warmth of the Gospel to what was before plagued by darkness, displacing bad with good, error with truth. In participating in the New Evangelization, we join with our Lord who said, "Behold, I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5).
In order to re-create cultures and societies, it is necessary to infuse them with life-giving Catholic principles, all of which are firmly grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We can say this because, in every case, we come to know about Jesus Christ and his saving Gospel through the Church, not in isolation of her. Further, we can definitively understand ourselves only in light of the mystery of the Word made flesh (cf. Gaudium et Spes 22 � 1), who is himself the totality of God's revelation. However, we would not know of the meaning of the Word made flesh if it were not for the Church, who is Christ's Bride and a holy dwelling place for men, a city of truth in which we are privileged to hear the revealed Word of God transmitted in its fullness.
"Christians of the first centuries said, 'The world was created for the sake of the Church.' God created the world for the sake of communion with his divine life, a communion brought about by the 'convocation' of men in Christ, and this 'convocation' is the Church" (CCC 760). That is why St. Epiphanius was able to say, "The Church is the goal of all things."
Since the Church is an integral and inseparable component of the Father's salvific plan of love for all men, it follows that the teaching of the Church on faith and morals is essential to the work of healing, elevating and perfecting culture. One way of infusing the teaching of the Church into culture, is through properly exercising our voting rights and privileges. When we vote according to a process of careful moral discernment in accordance with Tradition, Scripture, the teaching of the Church, and in harmony with a properly formed conscience, we then become positively and authentically engaged in transforming culture.
What's At Stake
Perhaps more so today than ever before, American society is indeed in need of healing. We only need look at those terrifying intrinsic evils such as abortion to realize that, as a nation, we have become an accomplice in "unspeakable evil," as Blessed John Paul II referred to the abomination of the legalized, intentional killing of unborn children. And, of course, there are other grave moral issues confronting our nation which include: the dismantling of the institution of marriage through the "marriage equivalency" movement and the push for homosexual unions; the blatant attack on freedom of religion and freedom of conscience; and the attempt to fine the Catholic Church into oblivion as a consequence of her non-compliance with the HHS contraceptive, sterilization, and abortion inducing drug mandate.
To a large degree, these moral evils and others are being perpetuated through the continued election or reelection of political candidates who adhere to intrinsic evils, reject the divine law and the natural moral law, and otherwise display a seriously disordered moral character. In order to set this nation on the path of healing, sending a clear message to all political candidates is a New Evangelization imperative. Political candidates and incumbents running for reelection who adhere to gravely immoral personal philosophies, reject the natural moral law and willfully cooperate with intrinsic ...

Vance' If the EPA and OCHA made jobs go away why then did the Republicans when they control the government on and off over the last 40 years make those departments go away and save millions of industrial jobs and gain the vote of the workers of the saved jobs? Let me see radical unions made jobs go away ,if the job goes away why should a person need a union ?the union loses membership , that no longer pay dues,dues that the unions can use to push their radical left-wing agenda .and active membership the Boss can tell who to vote for.

mgm, no, Obama hasn't been around for the last 40 years but the EPA, OCHA and radical left-wing Unions were. These are what shut down our manufacturing and sent them over seas.

Janusz.The factories have been going away the last 40 years of my working life,I can drive around my home town and see the empty lots that plants sat on that I once worked at.I was lucky to go from one decent paying job to the next as plants shut down I don't think President Obama been in office for 40 years.

F.K. Bartel's article on .New Evangelization' in the context of the November election is " integral, holistic" to heal, elevate and perfect our culture. The spirituality and values we live is the culture we produce. To that extent, man cannot isolate spirituality from socio-political life. In this sense, the separation of Religion and Politics, "give to God what belongs to God and to Caesar what belongs to Caesar" becomes pragmatically hard for the laity unlike the hierarchical Church. The Church exists in and for the world. our moral integrity is the foundation upon which a new form of culture ( Sub- structure) is built up for the posterity to grow in a viable culture of life, for Jesus said, " I have come that you may have life and life abundantly" and " your happiness may be complete". As a matter of fact, every decision one takes and every relation we build up with neighbor and nature around, with God and one another is going to have an impact on the yet unborn. However, the unbridled " Liberty" of the Democrat is as dangerous as the " anchored conservatism" of the theocrats or Republicans. Hence, the stand of Church, in my opinion should be to" stand for Truth ( Jesus said,"I Am the Truth..") not for Parties".

mgm, it is fascination to hear some one who believes that they can get God to think their way when they are at "the pearly gates". mgm must be quite a talker to believe that he/she can convince God that the Ten Commandments and the New Testament were wrong. Lots of luck in your conversation with your Creator!

As a Pro-Life activist, I find myself and the Pro-Life movement on "The Outside of the Church". Archbishop Chaput is one of a "Handful" of Bishops who is a heroic leader of our church. The problem is that the vast majority of Bishops and priests are Liberals who are in the Back pocket of the Democrat Party. America will not convert until the vast majority of the Bishops and priests convert.

Yeah maybe the party the Bishops want me the vote for might make abortion go away they never did in the last 40 years but me thinks not ! I know they will if in power do what they can to make labor unions go away work safety rules in your plant unionize or not ,child labor laws too and lets not forget that same party's out right attempt to disfranchise voters that they believe will vote for President Obama with their all of a sudden concern for voter fraud ( yeah I know the argument against abortion too unless you are born you've never had the chance to work in a unsafe mine or foundry and experience explosions) .I think it's funny that that same party that says President Obama is following ideals out of " Old Europe" has no problems with us following the Bishops men that represent the oldest institution of "Old Europe" ( in fact older then the nations of Europe)the Catholic Church and vote President Obama out and the Republicans in! When I'am dead and stand before God I will have no problem explaining my voting ,I voted for the party the I believe would do the most good for the unborn and the living and that's not Republican .P.S.does anybody seriously think God will judge your life on how you voted ,Christ when on Earth never said what Roman political fraction to support or be against .

Aside from voting with true discernment (with a well-formed conscience), there is another more important task for Catholics: to raise morally upright children and grand children so we can assure that immoral leaders will never be elected to office in future elections and we will have more good Catholic politicians and public servants who truly live out Catholic moral values.

The only hope for America would be to treat this election on "Moral basis".

Look, I know Carly Rae Jepsen's persona is supposed to be geared toward fans of the younger set. And I know it's summer and you're hot and you want to wear as little as possible. But this dress rubs me the wrong way. Laced together at the waist, cut in at the shoulders (super unflattering on Carly's short torso) and pink-toed brogues. I think short girls have the ability to pull off way more than us tall girls, but Carly managed to defy the odds. What do you think? Am I being awfully harsh?
Lovelies, what do you think of this odd and bright dress on Carly? Hit or miss?

The installation team will arrive between 7 and 8 AM and will begin by moving the support system components into the pool area. As the components arrive in the pool area, the team leaders will position the 1st, and key, support truss in a predetermined location. This location will have been carefully selected by the system planner because the locations of all of the other trusses and the clear acrylic (if included) will be directly related to this position. Once the key truss is properly positioned, the remainder of the support trusses are set in place and interconnected relatively quickly.
While the support system components are being positioned by the team leaders the rest of the team will be moving the platform floor components into the pool area. As soon as the support system is complete, the team leaders will begin the process of positioning the clear acrylic as specified on the pool owner approved plan. Since the underwater lights shining through the clear acrylic floor is what provides the dramatic WOW factor, proper positioning of the acrylic is essential. Once the acrylic is in position and interconnected, the rest of the floor will be installed relatively quickly.
Following installation of the platform floor we will skirt the edge of the platform with material matching the surface of the floor. We will then clean the surface of the Acrylic as well as the rest of the floor. We will remove all excess material, tools, and any debris, leaving the pool area looking like the platform floor has always been there.
We will return a day or 2 after the event and will remove the entire system, typically in a single day. When we leave, the pool and pool area will have been returned to its pre-event status.
I live outside of Southern California. Can I still rent a hard pool cover?
Not at this time.
Can I purchase a hard pool cover for my home?
All-Safe® platform pool covers are typically rented for special occasions and are not currently available for in-home purchase.
How much does a hard pool cover rental typically cost?
Platform pool cover rental costs vary. Average rentals are $7,000 to $15,000. Many factors such as pool location, size, construction, access, type of cover, etc. determine the final rental cost.
What is the rental process?
Platform pool cover rentals are set up three to four days prior to the event date. Most rentals do require two business days of set-up time. Special arrangements can be made for venues requiring special set-up/removal restrictions. Removals are completed the first business day after the event date.
What are my floor options?
Flooring options are available in hardwood and acrylic. They are also offered in combination.
How much weight can a platform pool cover hold?
All-Safe's platform pool covers can hold 100 lbs per square foot.
Can you dance on the cover?
Yes, you can dance on All-Safe® platform pool covers.
Does All-Safe® have insurance?

Give Teachers, Administrators Guns in Schools, Pa. Lawmakers Say
A Pennsylvania State Rep says that with the proper training and certification, teachers should be allowed to carry guns in classrooms.
By Eric Boehm | PA Independent
HARRISBURG – Armed guards may soon patrol outside Pennsylvania's public schools, and the teachers may be armed, as well.
A pair of Republican lawmakers in the state House are working on legislation to make Pennsylvania schools safer. But while all sides agree on the need to improve school safety, some worry about bringing guns into schools, regardless of the lawmakers' intent.
State Rep. Greg Lucas, R-Erie, plans to sponsor legislation that would make it legal for teachers and school administrators to carry weapons in the classroom, provided they are licensed to carry a firearm and have valid and current certification under state law.
"As we consider ways to improve school safety, I believe we have to consider trusting school personnel to serve as a first line of defense. We trust them to protect our children every day. I think we need to offer them the tools to carry out that sacred trust," Lucas wrote in a memo being circulated among members of the state House this week.
Pennsylvania has more than 3,000 public school buildings spread across 500 school districts.
Lucas, who was sworn-in to his first term in office Tuesday, said the bill is personal.
In 1998, a student in Lucas' hometown of Edinboro brought a gun to a school dance and opened fire, killing one and wounding two others. The body count could have been higher, Lucas said, if not for the intervention of an armed citizen, who used his own gun to stop the shooter.
Students and school employees would be safer if guns were allowed in schools, he said Wednesday.
"I think it's our duty and responsibility to protect our children, and this is one way of doing it," Lucas told PA Independent on Wednesday.
The National Rifle Association last month called for armed guards at all American schools in the aftermath of the horrific shooting in Connecticut last month. The pro-gun rights lobby suggested using retired police officers and other volunteers.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter told MSNBC last month the NRA's proposal was a "completely dumb-ass idea."
Clearly, Lucas comes from a different perspective. He is a proud gun owner who has worked as an instructor for the NRA. The NRA endorsed Lucas when he successfully ran for office in November.
He was formerly a teacher and is married to a public school teacher. If people are allowed to carry guns for self-defense in most other settings, he says, the same rules should apply to schools.
Shira Goodman, executive director of CeaseFirePA, which advocates gun control, said Wednesday that arming teachers gives her pause.
As a parent, she worries about accidents in the classroom, but also about how students might be able to gain access to those weapons.
Goodman said it would be better to have more extensive background checks for all guns and for the purchase of ammunition, and to require residents to report lost and stolen guns to law enforcement.
Lucas said teachers who chose to be armed would likely be required to keep their weapons locked inside a desk or a safe during the school day.
But Lucas isn't the only lawmaker looking to increase security at Pennsylvania's schools.
State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler, chairman of the House State Government Committee, plans to introduce legislation that would allow school districts to hire retired police officers and others with law-enforcement experience to guard schools.
Schools would be allowed to hire people who have completed training to be a municipal police officer in Pennsylvania, graduates of the Pennsylvania State Police Academy and those who had completed other, similar law-enforcement training programs.
Under current law, it is unclear what qualifications are sufficient for that purpose, Metcalfe said.
Metcalfe said he supports Lucas' proposal, and opposes the idea of "gun-free school zones," but believes his bill would move more quickly through the Legislature.
"Going farther than that right now, I'm not sure we could get it passed quickly, and this is something that we should move ahead with quickly," he said.
Goodman said more armed security isn't necessarily the best way to prevent future school massacres. She said gunman killed 13 people and wounded 29 others in November 2009 at Fort Hood, an Army base in Texas with plenty of well-armed, well-trained soldiers.
Several other bills dealing with guns and school safety are expected to be introduced in the early days of the new legislative session. Notably, state Rep. Ron Waters, D-Philadelphia, has announced his intention to introduce an assault weapons ban in Pennsylvania.
Shortly after the Connecticut shootings, Gov. Tom Corbett gave little indication he was interested in such a ban. He argued that it would be ineffective when so many guns are already available.
Goodman said she hoped lawmakers, early in the new session, would approve legislation linking Pennsylvania to the national background check system for gun purchases.

When I see unarmed guards at our schools, it gives me no extra sense of security for our children. I would be 100% behind hiring highly trained armed guards for schools.
Arming teachers, however, is another story all together. This is such a complex issue with so many potential scenarios that do not have good outcomes. There are security procedures and apparatus that can be used first before we take such a tenuous step as this.

I agree with you Leigh. A police presence is more of a deterent than putting guns in classrooms.

My husband and I were just discussing this. If we're going to have guns in schools, we need it to be in the hands of professionals whose job is to know how to use that weapon and be focused on security, someone who will have ongoing training.

Arming teachers is a non-starter. The teacher's unions uniformly resist any routine background checks and drug tests. Teachers, as a population, are no different than those outside of schools. Some people should not be armed. Different mechanisms can be put in place to root those out. Teachers unions would never permit that.
Hiring properly trained and armed security would be more of a deterrent to wrongdoing.

"Goodman...said gunman killed 13 people and wounded 29 others in November 2009 at Fort Hood, an Army base in Texas with plenty of well-armed, well-trained soldiers" Goodman conveniently failed to mention (or is completely ignorant of the facts) that none of those killed or injured were permitted to carry while on base. They obeyed the posted regulation (abided by the law) while the shooter had complete disregard for the same. When something like that happens, the best way to stop someone with a gun and evil intent is someone with a gun with good intent. More mis-information from the people that want to disarm law abiding citizens.

Having an armed presence must accomplish something in the way of making schools seem less like "soft targets". I imagine the Philadelphia School District might concur, given the number of schools at which they request police presence during arrivals and dismissal. Of course, it's a different type of violence they are targeting, but nonetheless.
For those schools and school districts that cannot afford guards - armed or not - then certainly it seems like a reasonable solution is to have some teachers, though not actively walking around with weapons, with weapons at their disposal with all the appropriate safeguards in place.
I'm of the belief that is such a condition were common knowledge, even the deranged would know that rushing a school would not fulfill whatever their twisted agenda is
We protect so many valuables with armed guards, knowing that some criminals wouldn't hesitate to shoot their way into or out of a lucrative heist. Why not so the same for our children?

The desire to increase school security after Newtown is understandable, but short-sighted. As tragic as it was, it is precisely because it was so shocking and emotional that we be should be especially careful of rushing through extreme security policies that we will have to live with for a very long time. Right now Central Bucks is in the process of implementing the following new security measures: Locked entrances with buzzer entry.
Before we move to turn our schools into fortresses, we should bear in mind that they are already very safe. According to the Department of Education's figures, rates of violent crimes in school are low, with only 14 incidents per 1000 in 2010, compared to 53 per 1000 back in 1992. Incidents like the one in Newtown are so incredibly rare, it's difficult to find an adequate comparison. But one criminologist, Gary Kleck estimates that our children are more likely to be hit by lightning than shot in school. In other words, it would be hard to make our children safer than they already are.
More importantly, this security comes at a terrible price. Schools are where we pass on our collective wisdom and values. By treating parents and other members of the community as suspects, we are effectively saying that safety matters more than everything else. Excessive security institutionalizes suspicion.
Don't implement new procedures just for the sake of "doing something." The best "something" to do is to resist the urge to overreact.

I completely agree with your assessment. This excessive knee jerk reaction is unwarrented. Yes the Newtown incident was an awful tragedy but by all facts it is a one time occurance by one derranged individual. I read that statistically the odds of a gunman confronting a school are less then 1 in 3 million. Odds of being struck by lightening are 1 in 1 million. The larger issue we need to address is not arming just schools but how can and should the public be protected in large gathering places like malls, movie theaters, schools, sporting arenas etc. The issue is bigger then schools. If I was a small child again, I don't think I would be comfortable sitting in front of a teacher with a gun. It is intimidating and threatening. It does not promote the caring nurturing environment of a classroom. It's bad enough that I personally feel like I am treated as a criminal for even showing up at my kids school. We are creating the institutionalizes suspicion - telling kids everyone is your enemy. In addition teachers or administrators would never be able to complete the hours of training necessary to be effective in a crisis situation. Then you have the cost issue mentioned below....No this is not the road we need to be on. A better use of the funds in schools would be identifying and helping to get treatment kids with mental health disorders so they won't grow up to commit these crimes like the 20 year old in Newtown CT.
4:43 pm on Thursday, January 24, 2013
What is to prevent a trusted teacher with a weapon from using it in a similar way to the Newtown tragedy? Teachers still represent the population in general,so i don't think letting them have access to weapons is smart idea..PLUS, who is going to pay for the added costs? Taxpayers already are fretting the annual school tax increases...

What is to prevent a trained professional armed security person from going off the reservation?
David P Long

What I'm saying is that if teachers who already own a gun for protection at home or in public, and already have a gun permit (CCW) to carry should be allowed to carry in school. If carried in public, the weapon should not be able to be seen at any time when carrying with a permit. So the only ones who would know who was carrying in school would be the administrators not the students or the parents of the students. I also believe that if the teachers or anyone who would carry in public should have a complete background check. This should be done for teacher when they are hired and every five years to continue to keep teaching our children.
Bill Sams
9:56 am on Friday, January 25, 2013
I believe that it would be a good idea for some of the school staff to be trained and certified to carry a Gun in schools. Not all teachers need to have a gun. I believe we as taxpayers really don't see where our school taxes are going so why not have a record of where this money is spent. I think that you would be surprised at how much of a surplus the schools have to spend on this type of program to protect our children.
Something has to be done to protect our future generation. Our Children are very Much Needed protection from the Crazy people in the world.

"we as taxpayers really don't see where our school taxes are going"?? Really? Speak for yourself. I see where the dollars are going - to educate children. Why do you need documentation to prove that? Not sure what district you live in but I am fully satisfied with mine (Council Rock) Bill, I'd gladly dedicate some of my tax dollars to reeducate you.

Mike Shortall and David Long are right. Those teachers who are comfortable and licensed to carry should be allowed (and they should be allowed to carry any means of self protection with which they are comfortable). The fact that there might be armed resistance at any school will deter the murderers. No one but administrators will know which teacher, if any, has a means of protection whether it be a firearm, taser, mace whatever. We don't need gunslingers who are quick on the draw in front of the kids. We need people in the school to be able to access a locked up, hidden weapon when the lockdown occurs so they can protect the kids with whom they are huddled in the closet of their classroom. We should rescind this policy when all crazy people have been proven to be prevented from accessing firearms of any kind, legal or illegal which is never.
11:12 am on Friday, January 25, 2013
Arming teachers is one of the worst ideas I have ever heard. Mike Shortall (as usual) just throws up Republican talking points. If he ever has an original idea someone let me know.
Schools are places where kids go to learn, not armed castles. We only need to think about arming teachers because we have foolishly made access to firearms WAY TO EASY. Gun rights and gun proliferation are not the same thing.
To sensible people, Newtown, CT was tipping point. Our great gun experiment has failed - it isn't worth having kids slaughtered in mass numbers at a goddam elementary school.
Gun advocates only care about themselves. Join a well formed militia like the 2nd Amendment says, then we can talk. Until then, lets be sensible and restrict gun access.
David Burke
2:52 pm on Friday, January 25, 2013
The 2nd Amendment is about forming a militia IF the government is oppresive to the point that the only remedy is in the threat of force or actual force to overthrow them. I'm not for full auto and we definitley need much harsher penalties for illegal possession, but if you wait until you need to organize a well formed militia to hand out the tools, it's too late.
Mike Shortall
10:36 am on Saturday, January 26, 2013
Wow ... Talk about partisan talking points. Not too much MSNBC in there, eh, Nick?
Facts are these ... There is not a SINGLE law that you can pass on gun control that would solve this problem or eliminate the threat. You can MAYBE reduce the size and speed of any potential future event. But you cannot stop them UNLESS you're willing to make a school look like a military installation or a high security prison, and swallow the costs of doing so.
Restricting gun access won't do it. Reducing the size of clips or the availability of ammunition won't do it. (Wonder where I heard those solutions ... ) None of those "solutions" completely solve the problem.
It's so easy to pooh-pooh ideas without coming up with your own solution that would work. So enlighten us on YOUR solutions to completely resolve this situation (without - of course - relying on excerpts from the Rachel Maddow show).
11:41 am on Friday, January 25, 2013
I for one, am completely behind the idea of using armed gaurds and school police to protect our kids. There is nothing in this world that is more valuable and worth protecting than our children. They deserve the highest level of safety and security. They deseve to feel most safe in the place they are more often then they are home. As parents, we deserve the peace of mind, knowing that when our kids walk out that door, they will return in the same physical and mental condition that they left in. I need to know, that while I'm at work, I don't have to suffer the anxiety of worry and concern that my children may not be safe at school. I do however sit on the fence in regard to teachers carrying guns. It is to easy for a gun to be taken off of someone's body. Having a few administrators who are trained in weapons safety, have a complete mental health exam, and have no criminal history, could have LOCKED access to additional firearms in the event of an emergency. But I don't think admin, or teacher, should be able to "carry" on their body while school is in session. With armed gards on site, there would be no reason to have teachers armed. We need to have more planned out escape routes specific to acts of terror. The simple "fire drill" type of response is unexceptable.
11:42 am on Friday, January 25, 2013
Locking, bullet proof doors and glass windows, Additional front and rear personnel to cover the exits, a load speaker type alarm system to imediatly notify students and faculty of danger on the campus imediately(Like the Bristol/Levittown fire alarms), and arming ALL teachers with police style tazors, are other improvements that the schools could make to add to security without arming the teachers themselves.
11:42 am on Friday, January 25, 2013
Honestly, with more and more stories of teachers sexually abusing students, I'm not really comfortable hading them a weapon to make it easier to keep their abuses secret. There are a lot of options available for making our schools more secure. But in the end, it all comes down to budgets. And there are not many Philadelphia or Bucks schools with the funds currently available to impose more safety regulations and armed personel.
I say, offer all the unemployed vets who are searching relentlessly for work that isn't available, who would be happy to keep our children safe, who would feel a great sense of purpose, a job doing just that. Let the people who were trained to protect us in combat, protect our kids from the terrors that they face at home.
Lavender Green
12:26 pm on Friday, January 25, 2013
I agree arming teachers is a very bad idea. There should be a better secure system for entering the school. A double door system where one must show picture id, which can be swiped through a system to give information, then one should wait there till the child is brought to them or if they are there to see a teacher they must wait till the teacher comes to them and goes to a secure area. Guards should be appointed to the schools, Sad it has come to this but an alternative would be online schooling.
I don't believe arming all teachers because some of these teachers aren't competent enough to use the guns
Mike Shortall
10:40 am on Saturday, January 26, 2013
Not arming ALL teachers ... just some who are comfortable with guns; trained to handle them; subject to mental health evaluations; and responsible.
12:28 pm on Friday, January 25, 2013
I appreciate your comments Lavender. But if I had a choose a society without guns, or one with guns that required us to keep our kids home and have the school online, the solutions is a no brainer.
Our great gun experiment has failed, and the cost was terrible.
Mike Shortall
10:52 am on Saturday, January 26, 2013
You can never put that Genie back in the Bottle ... at least not without leaving only criminals with guns. (Oops ... I'm pretty sure I heard that somewhere on a conservative or Republican website, radio/TV show, cable network, book club, casual conversation ... Sorry.)
Unfortunately, if you want your gun-free utopia, you will have to move somewhere else. You can thank the Founding Fathers, who despite all the hand-wringing over the 2nd Amendment language on "well-trained militias" never bothered to canvas the country for the return of all guns once they kicked the Colonialists off the Continent, not even when some of those same FFs were serving a Presidents (Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, etc.)
So sorry ...
12:29 pm on Friday, January 25, 2013
And what will be the result when a gun belonging to a teacher,somehow harms a stduent, and this WILL happen..i would bet more students would be injured by teachers having guns, then the # of incidents it prevents..
Justin Napierala
2:10 pm on Friday, January 25, 2013
I think that having armed guards in schools is a great idea. As far as teacher's are concerned I'm undecided. I think giving teacher's macs or a taser wouldn't be such a bad idea. @Nick what is this government experiment you speak of?
Mike L.
11:29 pm on Friday, January 25, 2013
I think you need a new English teacher. It's teachers, not teacher's dude.
Lavender Green
3:30 pm on Friday, January 25, 2013
Nick I am not against guns not at all what I am about is the system and how easy it is for any idiot to get one, there are so many people out there who are not competent enough to be armed, there is no real answers because if a person wants to do harm they will, what needs to be done is prevention, we need to protect the innocent, we need to have our families feel safe about sending the kids to school, we need to have people who can protect them while they are there, people who are trained, people who can take out the bad guys (or girls) even when un armed. The problem lies in how easy it is to get into these places, hence the option to make it more secure. The problem with arming some teachers is then you have a trigger happy individual (no not all) who will abuse the power.
I don't believe our schools are safe, I don't believe we have adequate people in there making the correct decisions, I don't believe that the problem with this will be fixed in a short period of time. I do believe there are individuals who can "fix" this but they are not being listened to by the powers that be
