Someone may have said this, but I want to add my two cents.

I was in elementary school in Dallas from 1962 through 1969 (1 - 7 back then). We didn't live in fear and we didn't transfer responsibility to others. We had regular fire drills and "duck & cover" drills. Part of the drill was an explanation of how it was OUR responsibilit to know what to do in the event of an emegency. At the age of 6, in my first grade class, my teacher drilled me in the idea that I was responsibe to get outside with my class quickly and orderly.

At least once every six week period, our teacher would drill us on how to avoid "scary people," how to find a telephone, how to call the police, and most important... not to be afraid, do something to be safe.

I realize we only see the media hysteria, it sickens me. I want to thank the teachers, church leaders, and LEOs on this board for living the example of teaching everyone to live beholden to no one and make yourself safe. As responsible citizens, we can not delegate our safety to government.

God bless Texas!
