Are the officials at Safford Middle School pedophiles?

This article discusses the Safford Middle School and when the teachers and school administrators strip searched a teenage girl. This blog post is my opinion and is not to be considered as fact.

The supreme court has ruled that a Strip search of Ariz. teenager illegal, court says.

And one statement really stood out - While children's advocates and civil liberties groups cheered the decision, others suggested the high court may have created further problems for school systems by failing to make clear exactly when school administrators can strip search students and when they can't.

There is something wrong with adults that ask when they can strip search kids. Most of the time those types of people are considered pedophiles.

Then there is another question that must be asked. Did those school officials go to school and take a government class? Perhaps the teachers and school administrators have never heard of the Fourth Amendment right that is supposed to prevent unreasonable searches. How did someone that does not have a basic understanding of US government and basic rights get a job as a teacher? Mush less as an administrator at the school?

It seems that the school officials that want to strip search kids need some kind of counseling, medication or some kind of mental help. Maybe they went to work at a school to facilitate underlying pedophile tendencies?

The supreme court also said that the school can not be held financially liable. That is fine, maybe the district attorney will do the right thing, step up and file some kind of sexual assault charges on the school officials that are responsible for strip searching the teenager. What else do you do when an adult that orders a child to remove their clothes? You arrest them, and throw them in jail for a long, long time.

After the school officials are released from prison, lets not forget about making them register as a sex offender.

There is one word that describes adults that want to strip search kids, and that is "sick". The teachers and administrators at Safford Middle School that are responsible with the strip search must be charged with indecency with a child, convicted, and forced to register as a sex offender. If nothing is done to protect the children, what does that say about our culture?

I am not saying that anyone that works at the Safford Middle School is a pedophile. But is sure does seem strange that people are eager to strip search kids. Am I the only person in the world that seems something wrong here?

Someone has to stand up and say that they are wrong. And the Safford Middle School - I point my finger at all of you. From the school board to the principle and especially the voters. Lets take a little responsibility for your actions. Who ever it was that strip searched that girl - you deserve to go to jail - for a long, long time. You violated her rights and you violated her dignity.

Just "Who" do you think you are to treat people like that? I'll tell you who you are, your a poor example of what a teacher should be.

Dealing with the summer heat

Its official - summer is here. Now we just have to deal with the heat. Here are some suggestions.

Put space blankets over patio doors and windows. They reflect up to 90% of body heat and do a pretty good job of reflecting sun light. My wife and I have them over the utility room window that is on the west side of the house and over the patio doors - nobody uses the patio doors anyway.

Keep hydrated - when working outside, drink lots of water.

Keep your head and neck covered. Areas where blood vessels are close to the skin can collect heat. Cover these areas and keep them out of sunlight.

Sun sun block - to keep from getting sun burned.

Stay inside between 12 noon and 3pm - this is the hottest part of the day.

Wear clothing that wicks moisture away from the skin an encourages evaporation.

Need an eye out for the first signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Take action at the first signs and get the core body temperature down to normal levels.

Considerations for urban survival

Surviving in the urban jungle is not so different then in the wilderness, you still need food, water and shelter. But instead of gathering berries or roots like in the wilderness, in the city you have to grow your own food. Instead of drinking out of a stream like in the wilderness, you have to have some kind of water supply in the city. And shelter should be a given with the house or apartment your living in.

One of the biggest problems is finding water. Some cities do not want people having their own water wells. So when the city water stops flowing, people have nothing to drink.

Options include living next to creeks, streams or rivers, or digging your own water well.

Fresh meat can be gathered with bird traps or small animal traps. Use something like a have a heart live trap so the animal is not harmed and can be released safely.
