With that I have no problem.

Editorial: Gun law costly
Exactly, if they don't have the training then they shouldn't be armed in public.

Editorial: Gun law costly
Actually, my issue with it is not that I think that the CC holders are going to turn violent. I worry more about two things: 1) The way it stands now, if someone detects that someone on campus or in a public building has a gun, that in an of itself is cause for someone to report this, because that person should not have it on campus CC or not. Having a substantial population of legal carriers on the premises takes away this as probable cause. It will be much easier for someone up to no good to bring a gun because having a gun would no longer be a priori cause for suspicion. 2) I don't trust the current CC procedure to provide people with enough training to deal with crisis situations, if indeed a real shooter situation were to arise. I have no problem with CC as long as the training and acceptance standards are equivalent to what law enforcement officer would go through. That is currently not the case.

Depends upon your definition of "free"

State Board hears opposition to Common Core Standards
I didn't base my comment on what i read in LJW article. Actually, if you go to the Ed.gov site you find out quickly that the documents that you mentioned do not specify this particular set of Common Core standards, but do require that states adopt some set of common core standards, so states would be free to form their own consortia to develop their own standards, if they so wished. In addition, adopting some set of standards is not a Federal requirement or mandate, just a set of conditions for states to be eligible for extra money or a loosening of requirements. It would be irresponsible of the federal government to simply grant the money to states that have no viable, vetted standards - especially a state like KS that has a history of political interference in the promotion of pseudoscience in its standards.

State Board hears opposition to Common Core Standards
You might try reading comprehension instead of flawed "logic". The Common Core Standards are not a Federal initiative and states are free to adopt them or not, so most of your post simply makes no sense.

“Finding The Political Will To Reverse Climate Change” -- 04/25/13 at Woodruff Auditorium
I really don't see the relevance of this post. That glaciers were once in KS does not imply that anthropogenic climate change does not exist. Maybe you should explain further how your post is relevant.

“Finding The Political Will To Reverse Climate Change” -- 04/25/13 at Woodruff Auditorium
And upon what scientific basis do you base this conclusion. Somehow 98% of climate scientists are wrong and you are right.

City estimates it may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to keep concealed weapons out of city buildings
Sounds like a threat.

Editorial: Shirking state
Bad analogy. Lung cancer can't be spread from person to person, so it is more of an individual health not a public health issue. However, free lung cancer screenings are not really a bad idea, as catching it early could significantly reduce societal costs later.
