“Tough Guys” Who Shoot People at Schools

The news recently is filled with the “daily school shooting.”
What is it that makes someone shoot unarmed kids and adults in a school?
Is our society so incredibly sick???
Do these people realize what cowards they are?
Do they think that they appear tough?

Since I work at a school, and I am recently required to sit at the front entrance for part of the day, I have taken notice of this disturbing trend. It isn’t necessarily in the inner-city schools either. It is more often a rural thing.

Where I work, I have suggested a security entrance.

This request was ignored. Instead, an untrained “guard” is stationed near the entrance, “armed” with a walkie-talkie. This is done largely because of how funding is allocated. Instead of using money to install a security entrance, much more money is ultimately spent to employ a person to sit at the door and potentially be shot to death if an intruder ever does come along.

Robert Nettles IV, SPRUCE Project Operations Manager at Oak Ridge National Laboratory . I went into the site fueled primarily by my lifetime of interest in the natural environment; as well as my interest from volunteering as a park ranger in the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...

Crossing the Mexican Border

There could be an argument for crossing the Mexican border. I mean, seriously, Mexico has nationalized healthcare. The USA can't do it, because billionaires wouldn't be able to get rich enough off of other people's misery.
