RaE Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Holy crap... It seems like it has to either be BS or a miracle... Quote "Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security, and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good." - George Washington

I mean, teachers still have continuing education requirements and such, I just cannot believe this is true.

When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both.? ~ James Dale Davidson
