And I can't believe I just spent that much time on an SI post... don't expect that again anytime soon.

You defense of alcohol and the destruction it does says it all.

The primary use of alcohol is not to kill. You get no utility out of a six-pack every now and then that has nothing to do with trying to kill yourself or someone else? But the fact is that it can kill. So we regulate it accordingly.

Your regulation of alcohol has been a complete failure based upon the statistics. You're all upset over 20 children killed in CT by an evil person, yet it doesn't bother you at all how many children this year will be affected by alcohol.

Let me give you a different observation, the reaction to improve airline safety was to use armed air marshals yet the reaction to children being murdered in a school advertising "gun free zone" is to expand the gun free zones.

I'll bet at some time in the recent past, Newton CT had armed security in it's schools. I'd like to know who and why the decision was made to eliminate armed security. But that would show where the failure was wouldn't it? Can't have responsibility in today's culture teaching irresponsibility can we?
