H.S. Valedictorian Slams Public Education

Full text of the beginning of the speech:
There is a story of a young, but earnest Zen student who approached his teacher, and asked the Master, "If I work very hard and diligently, how long will it take for me to find Zen? The Master thought about this, then replied, "Ten years." 
The student then said, "But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast - How long then?" Replied the Master, "Well, twenty years." "But, if I really, really work at it, how long then?" asked the student. "Thirty years," replied the Master. "But, I do not understand," said the disappointed student. "At each time that I say I will work harder, you say it will take me longer. Why do you say that?" 
Replied the Master, "When you have one eye on the goal, you only have one eye on the path."

His charges were supported by atrocity photos which, in the public interest, are now released in this video. John paid a terrible price for his opposition to these acts. His story is tragic.

The Counter Terrorist: Front Sight Defensive Handgun

Perhaps you are a seasoned professional, well trained and cut from the finest of warrior cloth. That’s a simple deduction since you are reading The Counter Terrorist. Your experience may have prepared you well to defend yourself, when the need arises. However, when you are overseas fighting for this country, or across town serving a warrant, who is watching over your loved ones?

Who is protecting your daughter as she eats breakfast at an IHOP in Reno? Who is watching out for your son when he is in class at Virginia Tech? Who has your wife’s back as she makes a withdrawal from the ATM?

The answer is probably “nobody” and the solution is simple: give your wife a Glock and a couple of loaded magazines and hope for the best. Sound ridiculous? This happens more often than you can imagine. There is nothing wrong with “hope” as long as it is part of the formula “Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.” Preparing your loved ones to win a potentially lethal encounter is the mission of the Front Sight Firearms Training Institute near Las Vegas, Nevada.
