NEW YORK (Reuter) - Schoolchildren in small U.S. cities, suburbs and
rural communities are twice as likely to carry weapons as students
living in large cities, a study published this week indicated.
In a report that belies the view that violence is an inner-city
problem, the public opinion research firm Roper Starch Worldwide
also found that violence among teen-agers was worst in the West,
probably because of more gangs there than in the Northeast. 22%
of students in the West knew someone who had died violently, compared
with 11% in the Northeast.
The telephone survey of 502 children, mostly between the ages of 12
and 17, was comissioned by the television talk show `Rolanda', in
association with the Harvard School of Public Health. An equal number
of girls and boys were interviewed.

Do you carry a pocket knife? Yes? Oh my, add them to the total.
The previous article is scare tactic, useless garbage.

Actually, it's not hard to have a disaster or at least a useless
waste of time doing Urban Planning. The most successful cities
in the world today are mostly not planned at all, except at the
start of creating them.

| I took guns to school on occasion. Sometimes we went wabbit hunting
after school. Couple times for show and tell. Almost always carried a
belt knife.
Teachers carried paddles, too. Big suckers, made out of walnut and
other HARD woods.
Man, it was violent, alright...

| The edges of the holes probably didn't do much to diminish the effect, either.

| Yeah, some of ours had holes. Amazingly enough, many of these paddles
were made by kids in shop and given to the teachers as gifts.
Mrs. Ross, 8-G, my homeroom 8th grade teacher was the goddess of
paddles. She was about 6', 300+ pounds, and carried a sawed off paddle
everywhere she went. Claimed you could get more speed on a shorter
paddle, and lord knows she had enough mass.
Treated the home room like gold, but swore us to secrecy in the matter
so as not to ruin her reputation. She's have us out to her house on
special occasions, and never missed one of our birthdays. There would
be a gift in our desk before class, and a card sent home.
HOWEVER, when she cut loose, the object was either to get away fast, or
make yourself as small and innocent-looking as possible.

I left out the "'s" in the first line when I first read this. Kinky.
