   I overheard at the store a little boy telling his sister, “I don’t know why you like unicorns so much. They’re just horses with horns on their heads!” I smiled and thought, you tell her kid.

   I agree. But that’s in the future. The steps I posted deal with the unfortunate reality of now.

   Three things to do if there’s an active shooter: First. Run away if you can. Second. If it’s not safe to run, hide where you can’t be seen, preferably in a locked space. Third, fight with whatever is at hand. Throw a water bottle, a phone, or anything that will distract the shooter. You may not survive, but you could save someone else. All this comes from a veteran cop who is now head of security at the hospital where I worked and now volunteer.

   What a bunch of bs. I’m a lifelong Midwesterner and a Christian, and I’m none of those things. Talk about a broad brush!

   Traditionally, flying the U.S. flag upside down was a sign of severe distress. Then MAGA stole it and corrupted it into a sign of their corrupt “Stop the Steal” insurrection.

   @blessosu Not sure what you’re getting at. My mother read to me as a young child, and I’ve loved books and reading ever since. Before switching careers because of a lack a jobs I taught 5th & 6th graders in an inner city school. My emphasis was reading, and my kids increased their reading level from 3rd-4th grade to 5th-6th. You just restated my point and said I could not be MORE wrong. I honestly don’t get it.

   @ILK Um, no. Books are for any time at any age.

   Actually, we try to convince you to stay for the sake of your health. If that doesn’t work we tell you sternly that you can leave if you want but your insurance won’t pay the bill. Does Duke even have insurance? Probably not, so he wouldn’t care.
