Isn't our school system serving a dual purpose? Getting kids indoctrinated early on the regimented life? Makes going to prison easier. Or, if there isn't a criminal bone in your body, it certainly smooths the way to productive tax paying laborers. Be it a factory laborer, or an entrepreneur who "just wants to make his money and be left alone". No waves.

Armed guards in schools may truly be necessary now, but what indelible mark has this made on all of us? What will children growing up in a society like this become. Mute?

There is a better way, we must demand it. We the people must find the better way, because in the end there exists no founding fathers with superhero capes to save us. What will save us is fathers that love their children and know what duties are placed upon a man's shoulders in his life. Will he be a man that rises to the occasion, or a neutered sheep that goes along for the ride and dies of old age never having been a man.

A man looks to his own soul for guidance and follows his own moral code. A real man doesn't use violence for malevolent reasons, only for self defense of him and his.

We are broken. We are like shell shocked tornado victims trying to gather up splinters in order to rebuild our house.
We need someone to slap our face, wrap us in a blanket, and tell us our house is gone. Reality is the greatest motivator. Wishing bad things away never works. What will become of us?
