Ted re <<There are the cool kids and the jocks and their groups, and then there are the lesser kids who are the geeks and may or may not have friends. And they can be embarrassed and harassed unmercifully. I know because some of my high school fraternity bros. were the perpeptrators. Do those guys who do the harassing deserve to die for their crime...no, of course not. But this BS should not be permitted at all. However, too many teachers and too many parents turn their back on the problem.>>

Extremely well said!! Kids should not be allowed to isolate the other kid that goes through puberty later in life, or one that is shy, or has red hair etc...Individuality is very important, but I am a big fan of school uniform and overall discipline. If you pick on someone based on his race, the kid is in major trouble as he/she should be. But if you pick on them because they are small or different, then no big deal.

Re << And thats why there is incredible dislike for the NRA...the power they wield....but the neo-nazis of this country continue to provide them the funding that allows them to be a huge lobby in DC.>>

I am a paying member of the NRA and I am sure not a "neo-nazis", I don't think you should use the word loosely. I simply have a strong belief that the right to defend myself and not having to depend on someone else is as fundamental as civil rights. My heart goes out to the two mothers and fathers who will not have their beloved child with them tonight, but my conviction about the right to bear arm remains unchanged.
