I couldn't agree more but in this country if the kids had walked out in protest of gun regulations and raising the age limits the "adults" would have applauded it as a God given right. It's a lot of retired military around here and locals that have been here for centuries. There's a forum - somd.com and some nastiest people in the world reside there with a hatred for democrats that exceeds fox news. I don't read it anymore - I need some peace in what's left of my life.

Robyn... This is the best and most accurate piece I have ever read, on bullying. Thanks for being one person who gets it. It is not the little wallflower waif, teased and sad, who goes on a rampage. It is usually the asshole who is also a bully, who tortures pets and fantasizes torturing women, who shoot up the place.

Suddenly the rightwing is all concerned with bullying. Blaming the victims is preferable to grabbing guns, to these psycholoons. When schools have wanted to have anti bullying classes, the rightwing has opposed them, ALWAYS, in the past. I think Frothy Santorum was the one who claimed a little bullying might straighten a sissy boy out. It may have been Dead Pat Robertson. It was one of those Morons. ... but now that the focus on guns is so strong the kids are walking out of school rather than being willing to be shot, the hypocritical psychopathic Rightwingers are all concerned about bullying.

Ugh. This country nauseates me. Humans nauseate me. Often.
