Holy crap! This is really serious stuff here folks!

Seriously. What's wrong with this country?
We used to bring shotguns to school to go bird hunting in the late afternoons after school.
Every kid had a jack knife in his pocket. And we brought lunch from home.
We don’t know the entire context here. This is an increasingly mad day when kids engage in senseless, lethal attacks at increasingly young ages. I read a story the other day about a first grader who the principal threatened to kick out of skewl on his first day for doing a finger-point at the ground. The kid, understandably, is now shy about even raising his hand in class. Now this is silliness. But months of “bang, bang, you’re shot” to someone who is not willing to treat it as play suggests more nowadays than it did in most of our youths.
