Here's part of an editorial from the Arizona Star. First it's pilots; now it's teachers... Tucson, Arizona Tuesday, 3 September 2002 Hands in the air, class It may be that Libertarian candidate for superintendent of public instruction John C. Zajac is on to something. He contends that teachers with concealed handguns would go a long way toward protecting school children from harm. Let Arizona teachers obtain permits to carry concealed weapons and kids would be safe from mayhem, argues Zajac. While he didn't detail his views, we suspect this might be an interesting way of instilling classroom discipline as well. <snip>

A great discussion piece, Karen. These little memorials started to creep up on the Massachusetts highways a few years ago...and then there were more and more placed along the roadside. It was not uncommon to see a car pull up on the right shoulder as people darted across a busy road, ducking traffic, to place new flowers on their tragic spot. Little collections of plastic flowers began to be commonplace. A nice thought originally became a dangerous precedent. I believe that the state has banned any further memorials on the roadways. IMO, we can all remember our dead without littering the countryside.
