“You think the politicians that run my country and your country don't have guns in the schools their kids go to? They do. And we should be allowed the same rights. Banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat. Taking away guns, taking away drugs, the booze, it won't rid the world of criminality.” PeopleThinkingWorldShouldCountryRunningKidsSchoolRightsPoliticianDrugGunFatsForksBoozeCriminality Author:Vince Vaughn
“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society--but now apparently a diminishing one.” WellsChildrenIdeasWholeEyeKidsIndividualParentSidesResponsibilitySecurityPoliticianConsequenceProgramTownsBlockWell BeingBehaveExpensiveStakesRoofCiting Author:Richard Stolley

“I think this mythology - that we're all beyond race, of course our police officers aren't racist, of course our politicians don't mean any harm to people of color - this idea that we're beyond all that (so it must be something else) makes it difficult for young people as well as the grown-ups to be able to see clearly and honestly the truth of what's going on.
