It'll be interesting to see what happens when the first sort of trained
teacher ends up shooting a kid "by sccident."

Hey, this is the United States. Rather than deal with the issues, we arm
teacher.

We arm everybody that is truly expected to protect and defend. Now,
that responsibility falls to those people acting in loco parentis.

Deal with the issues? There is no squishy idealism debate of issues.
This is about crazy armed people looking for a soft underbelly and
finding it among unprotected children. This isn't necessarily about
guns, either. Other countries are having the same problem with crazies
employing knives, machetes, and hatchets to eviscerate and hack off
school children's body parts.

It is already legal for teachers in Utah to carry. I applaud them for
seeking further training in pursuit of protect the children and fellow
employees.


An interesting thing is I have not heard about any shootings in Utah.
I googled Utah Shooting and I got this story, one story about a drug
raid and a ****load of stories and ads for places to shoot.

Maybe those Mormons are too scary to start up any **** with.


Utah is among the 12 lowest states for murder rate, but it doesn't do so
well with other crimes of violence, such as forcible rape.

The WordPerfect Corporation was located in Utah and produced a fine
product. Then it was sold, and the product deteriorated. I can't recall
anything else "manmade" about Utah I find interesting. The mormon church
is not interesting to me.


WordPerfect screwed up is why the product deteriorated! They ignored the
function keys, and made it harder to work than it should have been. Then
they ignored Windows, and then finally released a crappy bloated product.
Over 26mbyte in size. They lost momentum to MS and Office. Still had the
best spell check of any product. Still better than any present software.
They were sold as they were failing.
