Contrary to popular belief, prayer never left our schools. My 10 year old daughter attend public school and prays every day in school as often as she likes. That's what we have taught her as parents and no one has ever tried to deny her that right. She just doesn't need the school to organize that prayer for her.

You can all scream about "mental health care reform" all you want to, and you can "reform" it till the cows come home. You still cannot FORCE an ADULT to get care if they are convinced there's nothing wrong with them. Don't ask me how I know.

We have gun control - there are laws that control how guns are purchased, licensed, and used. Until we truly enforce those laws, creating more will do no good.

If this bunch of do nothing politicians push us over the fiscal cliff, as it looks like they will do now. I will work and vote for any one that runs against them, including Barney Fife, they could not do any worse of a job.

I honestly believe we need a Medal of Honor for civilian acts of incredable heroism. The first would go to teachers, firemen, police and others that did extra ordinary things to save a life.

That guy who accumulated one million frequent flyer miles this year, has taken more than his fair share of flights...and so the government needs to step in and redistribute his ill-gotten perks to the poor. After all, he didn't travel that much; somebody else did that!

I would much rather trust my investment choices than give my money to the government to provide for my retirement. If I had all the money I had put into SS, it would be worth far more than I will ever get back.

If the school shooting is a result of "kicking God out" (as if that were possible), how do we explain all the murders that have occurred in churches?

Am I missing something? I understand the need for having a gun with which to hunt and a gun for personal protection but, why do people need assault weapons? Why does a person need something that shoots so many bullets per minute and is of no good except to kill people? Even if they are locked away, thieves can get them and use them on others. Where is the logic? I don't understand......
