You got it wrong, not men's downfall, but the entire country. You cant run a country on emotion.
That is what you have today, emotion winning out over common sense and logic. That is what the woman's movement has done for this nation, and like it or not, it is getting worse every day.
Stating those facts doesnt make one a woman hater.

Then let's git the men out with their shot guns and rifles, like the good ole days, and form a militia, protecting their families and friends. Oh, wait a minute, I bet LE wouldn't like that, wouldn't allow that. Okay, let's see. Uh, okay, we can send the men out on patrol, walking and driving, in front of schools and businesses. Oh, wait, they won't be armed and they'd probably get fired. Oh, okay, well, we can have the 10 police officers and 3 sheriff deputies do it all....and, they can keep monitoring all the other criminals in the town, too. Yep, that'll work this week, just fine.

Wow what a hot topic tonight!
Not having had much time for news tonight, I wonder if I missed something. A couple of questions come to mind reading this thread:
1) Do we know if there was a threat received regarding a potential school shooting?
2) Is it possible school was cancelled so that the districts can develop a safe plan to protect the children and they need the day for physical adjustments to the school structures / grounds?
3) Are all the people here crying about the downfall of America because of the schools being closed willing to take a few days off and go stand outside the schools when they reopen? After all, you guys believe the odds are small :)
4) If only 12 out of 3 million have been shot, should we wait until it is 400 before we start getting worried?
5) Do we really give a rat's ass if we make the sniper feel like he has accomplihed something by us closing the schools? I won't mind him dying while he waits for the schools to reopen.
