Ahhh yes, the “punish all” attitude, which is the one thing I never understood. When I was in middle school, we had the “meet the police man who walks the halls” day. He explained that if you fought back to “defend” yourself that you to would get punished and that you should just “call for help”….what the %$#@, how is this logical? Anyhow, I am glad that they are trying to pass a bill to end this nonsense. Fights in schools should be treated the same as any other wrong doing act would be treated/dealt with “in the real world”. Especially with today’s technology, they practically have video cameras everywhere in these schools; it wouldn’t be hard to find out who was the one in the wrong. Overall nice blog post, it’s interesting to see that they actually care about something like this enough to do something about the current situation.
Swine flu this, swine flu that, you better sanitize your hands after you touch something!Be careful you might get swine flu from just reading this. Now don’t get me wrong, I am all for staying healthy and not becoming sick, but the fact is this is not something that should be being blasted all over the media. It scares me when I watch the news and see men wearing surgical masks and women carrying Costco sizes of hand sanitizer in their purses; It is not the swine flu that is scares me, it is the fact that the media has this much control over the American public. This is much bigger than just the swine flu, this is an attempt to see how much control the government has, through the media, to control the average dumb American and, from we have shown them, we must look like mindless lab rats. Please remind me, how many deaths have we had, in the United States, from swine flu? NO, not 150… we have only had 1 reported death “from the swine flu”. Why do I quote “from the swine flu”, because the 23month old, that came from Mexico with his family to visit Brownsville, Texas, who is assumed to have died from Swine flu, actually died from multiple medical health problems. The cause of the child’s death was pneumonia, caused by the flu virus. So with enormous death count /sarcasm, please tell me why we are closing 100’s of schools here, in Texas, when there is no evidence of transmission of the disease within these schools? Like Dennis Perrotta, of the National Center for Emergency Medical Preparedness and Response, Texas A&M Health Science Center, said, "Closing schools and canceling events is useful when there's evidence of transmission ... but if you don't (have that), then what are you preventing?" Let’s face it; it is absolutely ridiculous how everyone is reacting, right now. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning or falling off a building this year than you do of dying from swine flu! Don’t let the mass media pump you full of swine goo, be your own reporter and do your own research!
