The incident at RJ Reynolds High School must be fake. Terrez Dawan Weaks ,was charged with possession of drugs with intent to sell, and possession of a weapon on school grounds. I can't believe that this kind of thing could be true with all of the signs up that Reynolds High School is a drug and weapon free school zone. Now that I have got your attention, think about how long this had probably been going on undetected, and next time instead of a knife it could just have easily been a gun. The folks who are against allowing concealed carry on a school campus by people that have met the requirements are only fooling themselves if they think their children are safe at school. I know this is not the first time Mr. Weaks had done this and there is no telling how much is still going on that no one is aware of. It may be some time before the whole truth is known about the nature of this young man. If he would have gotten the officers gun would he have hurt other students or taken hostages? Who knows.... but if there had been other faculty armed he might have thought twice before he did anything at all.
I hear the complaints daily about the price of gasoline, I get ridiculous questions like why don't the car companies start using that V8 engine in the SUV's and Trucks that gets 100mpg? I'll tell you why, because it doesn't exist. The public has shown that at $3.00 or at $3.50+ we will still buy gasoline like we did when it was $2.00 a gallon. We feel like the oil companies have really got us in a noose...........but we gave them the rope,and bound our hands and feet for them, we have met the enemy and he is US! I pass the same cars, SUV's and pickups everyday and I see the same thing day in and day out, a single person driving along by themselves maybe they had a carpool or ride share and they are just the last stop but I truly doubt it. In the name of convenience we have insisted that everything be packaged and sold solely for throw away use. People are mostly unaware of where all of that convenience comes from, plastics and petrochemical preservatives, as well as the transportation fuel from trucks, planes, ship ,and rail to get the fruits and vegetables that are brought in from all over the world to the supermarket or Walmart. We as a country are going to have a rough road ahead if we don't start doing something NOW. I have heard several times the word mandatory rationing on different sites that I visit, we are already seeing cash only, no credit or bank cards starting to take affect, today the first theft of fuel from a vehicle that has been publicized. I think we are starting to see the beginning of " Peak Oil" and what it brings you can read about it here.
http://www.hubbertpeak.com/Hubbert/ If we are going to change the current price for a barrel of petroleum it is not going to come from some new presidency or government program and forget the oil companies or the car companies, it is going to come from individuals who take responsibility to make wise choices and changes to make more efficient use of the energy they consume.
