Ugghhh.. we need to evolve beyond this caveman nonsense of hunting. And yes, factory farming sucks, for the animals, but it's cheap food for people and there are other options that are humanely raised free-range for those that want to spend a bit more but hunting is just so 18th century.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-12775689208071464802012-12-22T19:15:59.291-09:002012-12-22T19:15:59.291-09:00"All in the Family" tackled many issues ..."All in the Family" tackled many issues that remain relevant today.

There was never any plan at Columbine to scan students for weapons, funnel them into a single entrance or otherwise provide a secure environment. And, at that time and place, it probably seemed reasonable.<br /><br />I am convinced that providing armed security at every school, day care, summer camp, etc. is not the answer to the problem of assault weapons in the hands of mentally ill people.
