    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Well sure. Because they might get access to a firearm.

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Helping the mentally ill isn't likely to change these kinds of acts. Whether it is the school, cinema, political rally you name it, all of these shooters were over 18 and actually 20 years or older. Even if you identify them, then what? It is a long tedious and expensive process to commit...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Trained police would be the preference of most however for budgetary reasons I could see a few trained teachers perform that role. If we are allowing pilots to be trained to carry a firearm I think it could work with select teachers.

    On teachers & administrators defending students

    While a sad situation, most if not all of this type of situation is overblown by the media. Are things getting worse as reported? Maybe not. Seems like alot of knee jerk reactions when really looking at current stats. Are Mass Shootings Really On The Rise?

    New to EO and thinking about expediting

    For the OP, he would be better served to offer a little more detail like what kind of vehicle, solo or team? Answers would all be different without some of that information.

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Two parents are better than one but one good one is better than two that are bad. Either one can apply.

    No taxation without representation

    They seem to hear better with the proper campaign donation. ;)

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    I think we have identified the majority of problems in which the answers are limited. So it is more of slowing the violence down with acknowledging that it will never go to zero. We have mental health issues, lack of parenting, drug use, medicated kids, the internet, and the list goes on. I am...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    I wouldn't see a problem with an armed trained woman guarding a school. The bullet comes out of the gun just as fast regardless of who is pulling the trigger.

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    That is probably the key. Not all teachers want to handle guns. Easy fix. Find the ones that do and train them properly. If one is to enter a school, they will know some are armed but not necessarily which ones. Even that isn't a cure all but it might slow some of it down. The actual workable...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    I'll just go with the simple fix.

    Some sayings about guns and the Connecticut tragedy

    The MSM this morning is all about gun control. That will have next to no effect on these types of tragedies. On the same day of the CT shootings, you have this in OK. Using bombs and then shooting people. Not a word from any of the major networks on this. Why? Doesn't fit the gun control...

    Percentage Based or Flat Rate?

    In most cases yes unless an area is totally saturated. Which in turn produces cheap freight prices. Laredo and say Florida can be like that. One week very nice rates and the next you have loads going out for just fuel money. I believe the thinking is to move the needed trucks out at the rate...

    Percentage Based or Flat Rate?

    Yes and no. For a smaller carrier or one that primarily bids on loads your analysis is correct. With the larger carriers it can be different. As Turtle described, a carrier will move trucks out of an area at break-even or at a loss when other areas run out of trucks and there is a need. Some...

    I like Obama's position

    Since Obama has a past interest, it will be interesting to see if he schedules more trips into those states. :cool:

    '27 dead' in Connecticut primary school shooting

    Now there not sure who did the shooting. Apparently the Ryan Lanza guy had a 20 year old brother that they think did the shooting?

    Percentage Based or Flat Rate?

    Ok...I will challenge you and ask again. What do you consider a cheap rate for a straight truck. Followed by, what do you think it should be?

    '27 dead' in Connecticut primary school shooting

    Sad. This will likely rejuvenate that ban on assault weapons. What kind of person goes in to a kindergarten class and starts shooting? Certainly one that is crazy or on something.
