I am curious what had caused the pandemonium among the students.<BR/><BR/>As for the Key Communicator tale, I work in the events industry sometimes and the wasteful oblivion at these things has always bothered me, even tho some of that wastefulness translates into more money for me (tho I am FAR from well off). I love your ideas tho, and have faith that you will get at least a few people thinking and acting with a bit more common sense. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354640729644229842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573115152567675253.post-73791023144040845642008-11-22T16:27:00.000-05:002008-11-22T16:27:00.000-05:00So sorry to hear that your barber friend was the v...So sorry to hear that your barber friend was the victim. It's always hard when violence hits close to home. It's something that is supposed to happen 'somewhere else'. Last year in our town a man murdered his family and then killed himself. One of the children sat next to my youngest in school. Yeah, it's hard when it's close....<BR/>Here's hoping for better days for us all.Judy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573115152567675253.post-90332142852135976492008-11-22T15:18:00.000-05:002008-11-22T15:18:00.000-05:00Holy crow!

Send a letter to the BOE, principal, maybe even the newspaper? I don't know if it would do any good, but it is worth a shot. <BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear about the shooting. I looked it up on your local newspaper and it looks like he was a great guy. What a shame.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896941341075639503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573115152567675253.post-75657280149753113552008-11-22T11:25:00.000-05:002008-11-22T11:25:00.000-05:00This sounds too familiar!

I like your ideas. <BR/><BR/>Inviting the principal to dinner is a good idea. He's there every day working with the teachers and kids, so probably does wish things were different. I know the teachers sure do!Lisa Zahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491596171533559615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573115152567675253.post-948071646571124512008-11-22T02:32:00.000-05:002008-11-22T02:32:00.000-05:00Oh, crap.

Respected in the neighborhood. He was just closing his shop for the night. He was shot in the head and it doesn't sound good at all. He is 32 years old.<BR/><BR/>The violence usually feels much further away from us.Matriarchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626790347402266263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573115152567675253.post-17505509016964212482008-11-22T01:12:00.000-05:002008-11-22T01:12:00.000-05:00What a crazy day!

I was in business too and witnessed so, so much WASTE - like you described.
