Amen, brother! It's a concept I can't seem to infuse into the lib teachers I work with. I had a post a little while ago on how to act when faced with a kidnapping situation, either from thugs or terrorists. I'll repost it if you like. That's the other sort of teaching I do when I'm not in school. LOL
Thanks for the amen brother but I'm a sister. I am a sister with the survival "mindset". I always have my toys close at hand.
I'm so grateful that my son didn't accept that contract to drive trucks in Iraq. He was told that it would be safer than driving in the US- they would only be transporting goods- food and medicine- to the troops.
