Prof. Umbridge, Packing Heat

Wayne LaPierre, the National Rifle Association's self-caricature, today came out with his solution to the problem of school firearms violence.  One thing he called for was the presence of armed guards in the schools.  He thinks there's too much violence in the media.  Like that.  Nothing whatever the slightest bit unpredictable or helpful.  He also spoke of handling the mentally ill better, a cause for which Republicans have been notably unwilling to appropriate funds for, siting the adequacy of private sector responses to the problem and the dangers of Stalinist tyranny destroying America as we know it.

Now, I went to school, and recall my teachers.  They ranged from the saintly to the ridiculous, on both superficial and deep levels, as yours did too.  One of my favorites was later found to have liked middle school boys rather better than he should have.  Another, whose bitter right wing diatribes introduced his every class, became a friend, and gave me a life long love of poetry at a time when I wasn't reading anything other than pulp science fiction.

The vision of each and every one of these carrying a firearm to school does not suggest to me a solution to any problem at all...

I think what you posted made a bunch of sense. But, consider
this, suppose you composed a catchier post title?
I am not saying your content is not solid, but what if you added something to possibly grab folk's attention? I mean "Prof. Umbridge, Packing Heat" is a little boring. You might peek at Yahoo's front page and note how they create post headlines to get people interested.
You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you've written. Just my opinion, it might make your blog a little livelier.

I almost never comment, but after looking at a bunch of comments here "Prof. Umbridge, Packing Heat".
I actually do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind.
Is it simply me or do some of these responses
look like they are written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if
you are writing at other online sites, I'd like to follow you. Could you make a list of the complete urls of your social networking pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
