You cannot take away a persons freedom, privileges or rights, simply because they are perceived to be defective or different in some way.

Pray tell.....What man in history attempted to do just that....???

You don't want to go there, no matter what the reason of the day is to do so. This is mob mentality and very dangerous to our future and our freedoms.

There are things that we can do. I have suggested a couple things, but the voluntary nature of our medical system must be maintained. It is part of our core beliefs as a free people.

Perhaps there is a price to pay for being free. Perhaps there always has been and will be.

Agreed. We don’t want to go there. I am willing to pay the price that a deranged person might “go postal” and shoot me dead in the grocery store or wherever than to live in such a police state. I do not want us to become like the USSR was, where one could be locked away for being a bit odd or politically incorrect or owning a fine cow the neighbours coveted. No way.

For parents concerned about the safety of their children at universities, the best I can come up is the tentative proposal at the end of my post #1367. Still, that probably would not have prevented Cho’s murdering rampage. He probably would have done it all the same just before or after being expelled, or he would have done it somewhere else: a shopping mall or a theatre or somewhere he could gun down lots of people.
