I see that the Escambia education “professionals” are well represented. No doubt their attendance is based on their concern for the children they are responsible for “educating”.
I’d suggest telling your fellow attendees to drop their subscriptions to the paper and stop buying the products of any company that buys advertising. That really fries me. Good luck.
If I weren’t such a believer in the new civility, I’d think this was a target-rich environment.
Checked the Claymore lines?

Target-rich, indeed.
