speed limit or law against ------ good question.

Teachers raping students is not on the publics list of "things to worry with" at this point in time.

Schools getting shot up by individuals is on that list.

I guess, I related it to the point that 10 times more people are killed in automobiles than are killed by guns in the US, but the sentiment is that guns are the problem.

Probably 10 times more students are raped by teachers than people killed by "crazy kids with guns", but the sentiment is that the kids with guns is the problem.

I do know that their are three sides to every story -- what you see, what I see, then the truth which is usually in the middle somewhere.
