The basis of evil government

Letter to the editor;

In the beginning, Hashem created the heavens and the earth.
(For us who are not Jews; Hashem, or ha Shem, means The Name – of G-d.)

And Hashem created man in his own image.

And He gave them just that one Commandment about the forbidden fruit.

And the Yetzer Hara came among them and said, “Do it my way. You shall be like G-d, knowing good from evil.” (For the benefit of us Gentiles, the Yetzer Hara is your evil inclination.)

Adam already knew good from evil, as he already had that one Commandment.

But the Yetzer Hara had to pretend to have something to offer. Maybe he pretended to mean, “Do it my way and you can decide good and evil for yourselves.”

And then came to pass six thousand years of evil government by men and women who decided for themselves what was good and what was evil – and shoved it down the throats of everyone else by force and violence and mass-murder, backed by goon-squads.

Josef Stalin was an example of this. He murdered tens of millions of Russians, trying to establish government his way; the way of the Yetzer Hara. Other examples are Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot and Genghis Khan.

And the modern “Liberal,” has decided to do things his own way (the Yetzer Hara way). He believes that knowing good and evil means that he gets to decide for himself what is good and what is evil for the entire human race – and force it on us.

Who should have guns at school?

Protect the children

Letter to the editor;

Let’s say the worst has happened: A school-shooter is killing children one after another. School employees with cell-phones have called the police.

The police are responding in strength; the lead car is already in sight, with lights and sirens. They have practiced for this call and expect to arrive in record time.

Also in our favor is the fact that the shooter is so hopping mad that he screams imprecations between shots: He can only kill one every two seconds, instead of one a second. BAM! (expletive) BAM! (expletive) BAM! (expletive) BAM!

(Getting back to root causes, maybe he would not have gone off like that if the school administration had protected him from humiliation by school bullies.)

Now, what everyone at the school wants, is lots of responsible adults with handguns.

The lead police car rams the chain-link fence, knocks it down, and drives right over the top of the wreckage. (expletive) BAM! (expletive) BAM! (expletive) BAM!

The officers are jumping out of the cars with their guns in their hands. The shooter surrenders. As we surmised, all anyone at school wanted was lots and lots of responsible adults with firearms.

WRONG! There was one thing more everyone at the school wanted: They wanted those people with guns RIGHT NOW!

There is a way for schools to have armed adults respond in ONE SECOND. That is to have some school employees carrying concealed weapons.

The man who clips the hedges and the lady who washes the windows, with guns, RIGHT NOW, is lots better than the entire police force thirty seconds from now.

I propose that schools be encouraged to honor State Concealed Carry permits – especially those held by their own employees.
