these school shootings..........i heard some public official wack job say last night that his answer is to arm the teachers. sure! great idea! we will let our public school system do even more damage to the minds of our children by saying "NO" to guns all while teacher packs a 9mm. a room full of 35 plus children and one teacher.........how easy it would be for a child to look for and find that gun. i've worked in enough classrooms to know how easy it is to be distracted and how utterly impossible it is to monitor every child every moment. i cannot imagine any parent going for that idea. hopefully it will get filed in the trash can. and the answer is not increased school security. that hasn't done a thing except create an atmosphere of fear and distrust and that is what we need LESS of. the answer lies in getting into the psyches of these people and finding out the WHY's, only (coincidentally??) they always end up commiting suicide.
yesterday afternoon was one of those perfect days........the sun was out.........the temperature was as close to perfect as you can get........i went for a long, leisurely bike ride then stopped in at the local co-op to pick up some plums.........nothing like eating a juicy piece of fruit on a warm fall day after you've exercised your body.......had one of those "life is good" moments........those have been missing in my life and so i try and create them when i can.......and hold onto it as long as i can....
i had a weird experience this week..........a few years ago i had a dream about asian-looking men invading the pacific coast line, dressed in fatigues..........it was one of those dreams that i have kept alive in my mind.........at the time i thought it was due to my fear of war given i had the dream about 6 months after 9/11......
well, i stumbled upon a website of articles as listed on a fellow blogger's page and one of the articles was a list of predictions by some woman in germany.........she too had had a dream/vision of asians (from china) invading the NW united states along the pacific coast line. what added to this "strangeness" was that the night before, i happened to share the dream again with my spouse......
twilight zone music please...........
who knows!?
well i have a vacuum calling my name..........and work is next in line so i'm gonna close up the mouth shop for now.....
uh huh. next..........
