Just a thought

I was scanning the New York Times headlines this morning and came across this: "Lawmakers Debate Weapons on Campuses." Put aside the pro and cons of letting students carry firmarms at public universities. How did we get to a place where we're discussing the prospect of students, our children, packing heat at all, let alone in the halls of higher learning? If ever the fevered paranoia of a minority succeeds in pushing America across this Rubicon, the descent into madness and self-destruction will be swift.
