I'm not impressed either. Last year when North Pole Middle was having gun threats, I called the superintendent and told him that they needed to run dogs for drugs and also have metal detectors. He just about laughed and told me that the parents wouldn't go for it, because it would be too much of a distraction for their children. I was so amazed with the careless attitude about drug use and weapon use. It really upsets me that he thinks I would feel it as a distraction to my child, and make me feel foolish for the suggestions. These comments from this article just prove to me even more that it is about a paycheck and not the child.

LadyNYC, I agree with you there. The only way to world peace is for each of us to get over race or religion and not persecute. I'm not voting for Obama for my own reasons, but I surely hope that people are not making their decisions due to his religion, which is not Muslim, nor his race. If he were Muslim, maybe it would give us some insight on how to deal with the radicals of Islam.

If each person in society would respect each other, rather than think only of themselves the world would be a better place. Pedestrians need to be more cautious of drivers and drivers need to do the same. Everyone is always in such a hurry to do things, that nothing else matters but their own agenda.

I am a breeder of 3 litters bearing one child each time. I try my hardest to teach them right from wrong, but unfortunately I am not perfect. I teach them the rules of life and also I teach them values. Values is the key word here. So many people are filled with hate and contempt and it really saddens me that my children have to be raised in a society of such hatered. Maybe if we could all learn to coexist and learn how to walk and/or drive in a parking lot then it might be the start to peace in our world.

Yes, there was a power outage in North Pole today. It was for about 2 hours or so. Being a native of Texas, the cold in itself is something to deal with, but then a power outage and no fire place really freaked me out :) Thank goodness they were on the ball and fixed the problem in a timely manner.
