Here is my take on the whole thing with kids and protection in school. When I went to school no one even thought about bringing a gun to school. Some of us carried pocket knives, but they were tools and not weapons. Still carry a pocket knife for a tool and I expect my son will do the same since we all have as far back as anyone can remember.
Over the past several months there has been a noteable amount of "child takes gun to school" cases. Now if you think back over the past 10 years you'll see that years ago there were stories of rampant sex in school and now the media preaches safe sex as opposed to abstaining from the act altogether.
Let's whip out the old social calculator shall we? In my lifetime schools went from no guns and no sex to free condoms and kids taking guns to school everyday. Just within the past 10 years unforgiveable acts are now encouraged by the availability of condoms. What's next? Passing out kevlar and body armor????

I was going to avoid this blog but if I'm gonna get on the libs when they do something outa line then I kinda hafta hit my side when it does something out of character. The rules are simple and each is as important as the other. Some groups like to add more rules or change some defining terms, but the basics are the same;
1. Every firearm is treated and handled as if it is loaded.
2. Keep the weapon pointed in a safe direction. Never point the weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot.
3. Never put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to fire the weapon.
4. Be CERTAIN of your target and beyond and your surrounding area.
If you watch those bike maker guys from NY on Discovery you might have seen an episode when the old man took the kids out bird hunting. Watch it and you'll see Senior swing his weapon in the direction of his target and almost take out one of his kids.
I figure it will take less than 24 hours for the machine to turn this into something like oh maybe Cheney should step down or maybe he should be charged with a crime. It aint gonna happen nor should it. People get hurt in hunting accidents all of the time.
Congrats to "The Flying Tomatoe" for bringing home the Gold!

It's kinda like that. In the world of the `net, if you're anybody who surfs with any skillz you've certainly been here www.ehowa.com and have it bookmarked (see February 11, 2005 email from Paul M).
This is the equivelant of reaching the cover of the Rolling Stone as far as I'm concerned. Thanks Ernie!

I've been trying not to blog except on the weekends but it's no use, I'm addicted. So this 9-11am liberal talk show person on the local "Big One" in my little area gets this caller this morning. The topic apparently has something to do with intercourse and young children or children under 15. I was always taught to wait until you got married. And then somehow that got twisted by the younger parents into "at least wait until you are of legal age 18 and for crying out loud use protection". Well some waited and some didn't. But the radio show host is exploring the morals of a state who's sexual intercourse age limit is 15 years of age. This truely bothers me because if you use common sense then we should be teaching abstinence. Since this radio show is liberal I guess that means it's ok to consider children having sex from the age of 15 okay. This caller asks the host where will children get information about sexual intercourse if their parents don't have (and get this) an open dialogue with their children when it comes to personal issues. The show's host offers no advice to the caller for this question. I of course am here to save the day. I have the answer to the callers question and some advice for the radio show host (who coincidentally had a TV show and knows the power of the media). For the caller I offer this advice - teach the children to watch television, it will be their greatest source of information and education. Teach the children not to ask their parents and teachers for information but to look to their peers for guidance. Since the children don't have an "open dialogue" with their parent(s) they already have been taught to desensitize themselves from the right and wrong feelings that we all inherintly have. Better yet teach the children to get their information and guidance with respect to morals from night time talk shows on television. The parents obviously have no control over their children so since the children will be up watching television, why not have them get their much needed guidance by talk televsion. And Jerry - maybe you ought to consider using your gift to HELP these children instead of putting the freaks on a pedestal.
