Since we live in a school district where performance is everything, you get a lot of parents lining up for the smart pills.

China is Communist in government but with a capitalist economy. North Korea is nominally a Communist state but in actuality it's a dynastic dictatorship run by one family. Now it's in China's best interest to have a peaceful pacific rim. China is making money hand over fist and it's all because of his inexhaustible labor supply. If a nuclear war hit the Korean peninsula it would be bad for China because it would rock some of China's major trading partners. I don't think China and Russia want to wipe the US off the map. They like having us around just just don't want us to be the only major super power around.

More of the same from communist nations that only wish for our ultimate demise. What do they, the…Read More main communist countries (Russia and China), see in the US now? An incredibly weak and ineffective national leader with 3+ more years left. A country bogged down in "going nowhere wars." A country moving toward fiscal collapse. A country that has China as its greatest "stockholder." A country with citizens looking for the gov't to provide them with everything. A country with citizens with have incredibly poor historical perspective (see some of the above comments in this blog). Do you really think Russia and China (who recently met and did nice/nice with each other) are going to let this golden opportunity pass without taking advantage of it? What a great time for a our historical enemies to get us bogged down in a war with North Korea? If we do, wait and see when China make moves on Taiwan. Russia will expedite its military growth and instigate Iranian militancy toward Israel a US ally in the Mideast. That's only the beginning.

The biggest thing out of this info is that it is made 100% clear to all of us that Adam did not have…Read More restricted access to the weapons. At the root of it, then, is a thoughtless, negligent gunowner that did not safely secure her weapons from unauthorized user. that's the root cause failure here. With safe storage no other issues would have mattered. Had his mother survived, she should and would have faced serious criminal charges for abetting this nightmare. Adam's mental state certainly could have been aided by a better medical system and care, but with out access to the weapons, his rampage would not have been able to start. So, the knee jerk reaction is to take guns away from law abiding citizens instead of insuring safe storage of said legally aquired guns.

Peter I understand your thought process, but the answer is because we live in a free society. This…Read More occurred because we have liberty and freedom. The issue is that after 25 years of school shootings in Gun Free Zones, there should have been armed security. Force the glory killers to find another location for their evil deeds. Isnt a shame that Lanza learned over two years how and where to do this based on previous situations, yet sane adults have lacked the same ability to learn from previous situations on how to deter these. When the true result of what had happened came to light I can tell you that I sat in front of the TV crying for the loss of the children that age, and also screaming at the TV, "when will you blank liberals learn?" I'm not a mass murderer, but we now that he chose this location for body count, so if a nut job saw that opportunity, then it was adults who didnt want to believe it could happen there and rolled the dice with the lives of the children there... all in the name of Utopian gun free zones because these are "places of learning and peace." He makes me sick, his mother makes me sick, and people that still want Gun Free Zones even now make me sick
