Update–Welcome Daou Report visitors
Wow…my post from earlier today on this subject , which was a hastily put together composition of some thoughts on my mind has elicited quite a response (15 comments!)
I’d like to take the oppertunity in this post to respond to the variety of comments I received…I begin below the fold
(more…)
Now here at the lab, air dusters (you know the things you use to clean keyboards with) are now considered to be “chemical and hazardous materials)
Go figure….that’s the Federal Gov’t for you
Update: Welcome visitors and commenters from the Daou Report
I’ve also responded to the first 12 comments in the following post above
(The other comments arrived after that post was put up, but I promise to reply to all the comments)
A quick thought on the topic:
What’s with all the carping by many a vocal segment on the left-side of the political spectrum (that doesn’t mean all those on the left, but just some) about letting the Military send recruiters into Public Schools? I remember every so often seing representatives from the Army/Navy/Air Force/Marines (the Air Force came the least) in the cafeteria occasionally at school.
There were kids who tallked with the recuiters b/c they were interested…and most of the time, the recruiters just had giveaways for people (e.g. Mousepads, lanyards, etc.)
I don’t see what the big deal is with letting recruiters for the military into gov’t property?
(Note: I’ve been corrected, I forgot that schools are local gov’t property, not Fed. property)
Also on the topic of giving recruiters addresses…again, what’s the big deal? When many students take their standardized tests (e.g. PSAT, SAT, ACT) there’s a bubble that you can fill in to share your info with colleges and universities (and you proceed to get a lot of mail from random schools)–but the Military likely also gets your info. So what’s wrong with that?
On top of it all, when boys turn 18, we’ve gotta register with Selective Service, and guess what–the Military can get our addresses from there too! *Gasp*
I fail to understand what all the whining and carping is about…
Update: I’ve clarified myself and fixed some of my errors in a follow-up post above on the blog
