Oof... Man, to live in the US. I don't envy you guys, though things aren't really going the right direction here in the Netherlands, either.

Your perceptions about the experience of the average American are a long way from accurate. You might want to take a hard look at the media you're consuming.

EDIT: I have now discovered that the fastest way to kick the Lemmy hornet's nest is to say you aren't living in constant terror of being mowed down at random. How do you people function out in public? Do you even go out in public? This place is a fucking hole.

Earlier this month, I had a parent-teacher meeting with lots of parents and she had to explain to one parent to please stop allowing her 2nd grader to come with weapons. The parent kept putting a butterfly knife in the kid's bookbag and she explained that they are doing everything they can to ensure safety, but now when a 2nd grader has a knife.

People are fucking nuts. You have to think that at some point the thought would occur to them that they shouldn't be slipping a knife into little Timmy's backpack.
