I never would have thought that I would see the day where we would award kindness or good deeds with PUNISHMENT! This is how our government works and because of their ideology it has trickled down to our schools and even our school faculty are knee deep in it! The fact here is the public school system is horrible and needs to just go away. 98% of the students that attend a public school get no discipline at home and get away with whatever they want because mostly it's kids raising kids and well they have to go to school right? <br /><br />I thank God everyday that my daughter is not in a public school riding a bus everyday. I'm grateful that I get the opportunity for my wife to drop her off to school and I pick her up. That's the duties of parenting. This nonsense of not having enough time for your kids is complete and utter nonsense. <br /><br />These kids are hero's. If it were not for their actions alone, there would be one dead child possibly more. These hero's should still be in school getting an education, and the kid with the gun should have been arrested, put in jail and held there pending a full investigation. Look at the facts, 1) 1 disturbed child. 2) Found access to a .22 caliber handgun 3) No parenting at home.<br /><br />When I was a child I took a hunter safety course. I learned the in's and out's about guns and how dangerous they were. IN THE WRONG HANDS! My daughter knows gun safety and I will continue to promote guns in her life. Spring and Summer are coming and my daughter cannot wait to get out there and start shooting. Gonna be a proud moment in my life when I can see this happen.<br /><br />Simply put though Dave, society has to change. The complete dumbing down of America has been successfully implemented and we were warned by President Ronald Reagan's Education Secretary that it was going and DID occur. These people running our schools need to be without a job. Since when is it OK to award goodness with punishment? It's not OK.

Frankly, the parents that are participating and supporting this type of outrageous behavior is disturbing. I have no problem with people spending their money on things and if you have the money good for you. However, the problem I have is that is just perpetuates greediness and doesn't teach them the value of money. My parents would have never supported this. I remember when I was young and I wanted a pair of guess jeans...my mom would only pay a certain amount towards them which she considered reasonable for jeans and I had to pay the difference. I believe I only did this once because I didn't want to blow all my money on jeans! My college years are a different story...but I still learned a hard lesson. All we can do is educate our children and be a good example. There will always be outlandish people doing outlandish things...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14518080210778843303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691881344485369815.post-25888263541786445672012-05-21T07:40:29.949-04:002012-05-21T07:40:29.949-04:00Cooks Dairy...real icecream...cows on site!

What it really boils down to Dave is that people have to respect for each other. They are in a hurry and don't care about anyone else that gets in their way. They would just as soon mow you over in the parking lot because now they are late because of the road being closed. The only time in my 34 years on this planet that I have seen people be courteous to their fellow Americans was just after 9-11 and for about six months there after. After the shock and patriotism wore off, it was right back to thinking only of themselves. <br /><br />Heck, here is something to think about... When you say thank you to someone for doing something how many times do you here "You're Welcome?" Most of the time it's "Sure", or "No Problem". I have made it a point of mine to make sure to say "You're Welcome". Most of the time though, I can't get someone to say thank you let alone a you're welcome. <br /><br />I get what you are saying, but until you get people to respect each other, you can't expect the government (Twp, or County) to shut entrances because the road is closed. Use your heads and show some respect people!DDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691881344485369815.post-71839003366799503072012-01-24T12:49:34.417-05:002012-01-24T12:49:34.417-05:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig0CO7pNeHs

The religious right who believe that their way of thinking is the only way to think and believe. Marriage between a man and woman is the only real marriage. Homosexuality is a disease or a choice are just a couple of their mis-guided ways of thinking. There have been more wars and deaths as a result of religious fervor than any other reason.

I deal with the mentally ill on a daily basis. What I see is a revolving door. Patient A comes in for an overdose or suicidal intentions. He or she is held in the ED until a bed becomes available at a mental health facility then is transferred. In less then a week patient A is back for the same thing. <br />Patient B comes into the hospital for a preventable disease that was left untreated. A doctor deems the patient under protective custody, a ward of the hospital. Patient B is treated for the disease then released. Staff knows full well that patient B will be back for not caring for his or herself. <br />Both patients cost the hospital system and tax payers countless millions a year tying up the hospital system. More needs to be done to bring to light the subject of mental health. With out long care facilities we are just putting duct tape on a gushing pipe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691881344485369815.post-55035965890755326272012-01-02T13:31:05.747-05:002012-01-02T13:31:05.747-05:00Ok I do completely agree with you that the mental ...Ok I do completely agree with you that the mental health system in this state need to be fixed it is beyond broken, having working with the mentally ill in this state as a direct care worker, I understand this better than a lot of people. <br />However, I do take exception that they are left unsupervised especially in the group home settings I do not believe that is accurate in most cases. <br />You have to understand the rights that they have compared to the general public. If they want to leave they can do so, if they want to hit the staff they are allowed to do so and we are not allowed to defend ourselves. We are to block and evade. We are not allowed to tell they they can or can't do anything. If they want to throw feces on the walls they can do so all we are allowed to do is tell them they shouldn't do that and we have to be careful how we say it o we could be violating their rights. They are well aware of their rights and are not afraid to tell you either. They can and do use that to their advantage 100% of the time. <br />I believe that a lot of the residents in the group homes do not belong there they belong in a more restrictive setting of a residential care hospital. Many are on enough medication that they are left drooling on themselves in chairs because no one wants to deal with them. And neighborhoods DO NOT want group homes in them and I can't say that I blame them. There needs to be a complete overhaul of the Mental Health Code. To protect both the rights of the consumers (patients) and the people providing them care. <br />Did you know that most of the people in the group homes do not receive any kind of therapy? They are simply medicated and let do as they will. Their "rights" prevent us from teaching them proper behaviors and social norms that most of them lack. They are not being helped simply housed and set lose on the community. <br />Until the Mental Health Code of MI is rewritten and there are other opportunities for treatment and housing for them things will never change.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09213060650290694092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691881344485369815.post-66731074380827034642011-12-28T11:32:42.009-05:002011-12-28T11:32:42.009-05:00Thats along the lines I have heard.
