Arms and Demand 0

NRA to Gun Manufacturers:  Of course, teachers should be armed.  Just think of how many more guns you could sell.

I’ve been thinking back over my high school teachers and considering whether I’d have trusted any of them to be packing heat. I suggest you do the same.

Most of them I would not have trusted to pick up a gun. One or two I would have expected to gleefully fire one on any pretext.

The idea that arming teachers will somehow deter violence is profoundly stupid, but we live in a profoundly stupid society dominated by profoundly stupid people.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
