I can dream, can't I? Lol. The constitution gives us rights. I don't have to agree with all of it, just respect it. I can't change things that are written there. But I sure wish we could do away with the huge number of available firearms. Use them for hunting, no problem. How do you sort out the deer hunters from the human hunters? I have no idea how to plan or undertake this, nor does much of our government. They are letting it be for now but maybe my great grand kids will not see as many guns, or better yet, maybe firearms will be effectively banned by then. It's a tough issue. And I am going to vote in the direction of anything that reduces guns in irresponsible hands, if the issue is presented.

It's kind of snarky of you to assume I expect constitutional rights to be done away with at this point. Amendments could happen, but it's not likely. In the meantime, each opinion is valued.

Thank you for a thought -provoking bit of snark.

I am amazed that people can do any of the gun stuff.

Yes, I think it should be made known to those nearby who feel concerned about their safety. And a way must be found to confiscate weapons from an unstable person. If this person is acting erratically then the police most definitely need to be involved and get her mental illness type referrals.

It's a strong possibility that gun laws will toughen up, and I am very much in favor of that. The wife in your comment is thinking ahead. It's not what I would stock up on but if you are a gun type person, it's time to get them while you can. I pray they become impossible to purchase, sooner rather than later. And there she will be, all set set with a personal armory.

You are right, except there are public high schools that offer trades. And I think community colleges are about to be free?

Agreed. Telling everyone their dilemma would just rush the process. They used that evaluation period to wipe up as much as they could. Poor students, went there for a high price and won't even get that worthless certificate of completion. Or the non-existent job placement assistance. Boy, have times changed.

Can you elaborate on this: "workers too; their directors and officers are likely legally obligated to do so, lest the investors be the ones defrauded". It isn't clear about the obligated party.

Stone Academy just ruined a few lives. If they knew they were about to tank, which they would know from the agency noticing them, they just got whatever they could get before the agency acted. Then they jumped ship. Of course, we were not there to really judge what was happening but it sounds like they could have come clean to the students before a fresh round of semester loans came up.

That's true now but I know from experience that it was not that way in the 90's. The business schools used to do a great job but the easy availability of government loans brought out shady business people and by the time I moved on in 2000, it had started to get unethical. It became a real loan racket and I left without looking back.

This would have been less painful if they let the students know the school was on shaky ground for a long time. I question allowing classes to go on at all once the OHE became aware of what was going on.

Not all for-profits were bad in their day. I worked at a small for-profit in the 90's. It was run by two doctors and supplied the area with solidly trained medical assistants. The training was better than high school and less than college. It filled a niche: not every young person is meant for college but they needed training to be employable. The school was ethical and cared about its contribution to the workforce. But it had to close as the cost became too great for the owners to pass along to students.

I don't think there is much awareness of how helpful these training schools were for lower-middle class students. It helped them with upward mobility, without the fast food stage. We don't have these schools now that can be trusted like that school was. It's really a loss.

Gee, thanks.

Wow. I heated my house with 2 heaters a couple of winters back in the late 80's. It was so cheap! I almost bought a kero heater this year and now am glad I didn't. That is just unbelievable to pay that much for kero. I will just pay my natural gas bill.

Well, this is a bargain.extra paper from the middle. Just set it on the sink and reach for it, without the convenience of a holder.

Oh I just replied to the wrong person! Very sorry. I hated this so much I rushed to comment. I can delete it since it offers nothing positive.

If you knew him and you wish he had been shot, well I have ask if you know why he would do this. Who stabs a baby out of anger? Was there anything about him that was way abnormal?

Does he have mental health issue? We haven't heard much about his past. Why on earth he did this heinous thing, there has to have been a trigger. We may never know and that little life is gone too soon.

One report on the news said he dismembered that little child. This is horrible.

Lol. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Is that really a bee I am seeing? Baked into your vanilla wafer? For real? I am grossed out. Bees are ok but not in a person's food. That's it, I will never eat again.

Check out eBay.

No matter who he may look like, he is a fine looking, handsome young man who looks confident and happy. Way to go, Gramps!
