Santa Fe

Local news - in fact just about all local programming yesterday - was dedicated to the coverage of the deadly shootings at Santa Fe High School.  As I write this, it is not even the latest in the series of school shootings - there was a shooting at a graduation ceremony in Georgia last night.
Everybody agrees that school shootings are bad, but nobody has offered a viable plan to stop them.  
I'm not sure there is one.
Having attended high school in Alvin, I have some fond memories of Santa Fe.  Brazoria County was mostly dry back then, and Santa Fe was just over the county line in Galveston County where the rule was anything goes.  We also occasionally attended dances in Santa Fe because everyone from Alvin knew  that those Santa Fe girls were easy.
Things have changed, but not for the better.
