School Shootings #11

     My calls to the Brattleboro school system were apparently rewarded with this friendly call-back: "This is ------ ------ (I couldn't make out the name as voice was faint), Superindent of Schools, Vermont, returning your call." For those aspiring to professionalism, let me make two points about this call. First, you speak the person's name so I can be sure the call is directed to me. Second, you give the call-back number so I can return the call. I think in this call, professionalism was trumped by hostility.
    To those trusting people who don't think the elite can willingly kill people to get what it wants, let me tell you about this: You want the best airplane controllers possible so you base your applications on merit. Right? But not Obama. He added the "Background Questionnaire" to see if people could claim poverty and other hardships when growing up. These disadvantages would make you a better air controller? Hardly. In fact, the more difficulties you have in life, the greater the chance that you would have issues that would get in the way of the high-stress job of airplane traffic controller. But in Obama's collectivist world, these disadvantages could outweigh merit. In addition, if you reported a happy childhood, you would be disqualified from being an airplane traffic controller (this comes from the credible Wall Street Journal, folks). Isn't this crazy and highly dangerous to the people flying in those  airplanes? It sounded more like Obama was trying to find candidates for psychotherapy! My point is that when this plan of supplanting merit by sob stories (were they even checked out for veracity?) was presented by Obama, the elites in the US Transportation Department and the elites in the Federal Aviation Administration sat on their weak, fat asses and said nothing to protect the American people in airplanes eight miles up in the sky from this insanity.
     If the elites will do that to us, then they will ignore defending schools from shooters by using metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing Labradors at school entrances in order to pursue the collectivists' dream of banning gun ownership in America. Stand up by calling or emailing your school board member - just one- and ask her for her position in defending schools from shooters by using metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing dogs at the entrances. Would you let me know how it goes? Join me in the battle to protect the children! Nick 352-359-0850 peternickerson12@yahoo.com
