WTF is with the right wing?

They don't want to pay teachers a wildly outrageous salary of maybe 40-50K/year to teach addition and grammar, but have no problem arming them in the presence of children?

right wing = insane

*applause*

From a psych aspect though, and mind I initially said this in May 1999...
If it gets to the point where the kid is LOOKING for a weapon, it's gone further than we should have ever allowed it to get.

What I don't think the short-sighted instant gratification crowd on both sides of the aisle quite gets is that every penny spent on education, health care, aid to families, whatever - EVERY penny spent on humanity now, pays off in dollars later when we do NOT have to clean up after something like this, do NOT have to throw another kid who coulda-mighta-been-okay in prison - but nobody seems willing to invest in things with a generational payoff.
Well, nobody else, anyways.
