Multiple Dead in Oregon College Shooting


Oh Shoot

This may sound old, too simple or general but every time something like this happens, my first thought about "why" goes way back to when I really believe we lost our moral compass.  We quit teaching our children responsibility and accountability.  We took morals out of our schools and instead of supporting our teachers ability to maintain civility and control in their classrooms, we started sueing them for looking at our kids sideways.

 

If I got spanked at school, I got spanked again when I got home.  No questions asked.   

 

Our system of values went to "there is no absolute right and wrong".  We look for someone to blame for our woes.  It is no longer OUR OWN fault.

 

When I was young in the late 50's and 60's, my father had firearms in the house.  I was a small, skinny, nerdy kid who was bullied.  But I NEVER, EVER gave any thought of taking one of my fathers guns to school to "settle the score".

 

I know I am preaching to the choir here, but folks is isn't the guns.  My dad's guns were never locked up but I knew they were not toys and were not to be played with or touched.

One report I just read said that a student, who was in one of the classes, saw the professor get shot in the head and then the shooter ordered everyone to the ground and had them stand up one at a time and state their religion. If that is true, this story is going to get very interesting.

I heard that too. May have been one of Obama's cousins

I'm guessing that "none" would not have been an out?
