Opponents of legislation that would allow a technology called microstamping (speeds up identification of guns used in crimes Method to Track Firearm Use Is Stalled by Foes) are generally the same folks who present themselves to be "tough on crime."

Added to that is the subject I wrote about in a previous post that the same kind of absurdity prevails in hiring and retaining good public school teachers. The non-thinkers in this country say they want only the best and the brightest teachers in our children's classrooms and that bad teachers must be weeded out. Yet, they act like the way to attract the best and the brightest is to cut teacher pay, degrade their benefits and demonize them as greedy, selfish thugs.

What a crazy, distorted "Alice in Wonderland" world the U.S. has become. Crazier still because so many people so liberally believe such claptrap.
