Where, when you go out to dinner, you check your weapons as you would a coat or hat. As a society, we make rules about weapons in schools, etc. Guns used to put food on the table are used in a responsible way. Guns used to kill innocent people, or to take the law into your own hands is another matter. Keeping weapons out of schools is important, but even more important, it seems, is teaching our young people a respect for the lives and property of others.
Companies continue to come to Nebraska because of our work ethic, our values.
We must continue to be vigilant in teaching our young people respect for others and their property. They must be helped to understand that there are alternative ways of solving disputes and coping with frustration and disappointments. We must also do our best to elect officials who will make certain that the innocent are as protected as those who are accused of crimes, or who have been convicted of crimes. In my final address to the Nebraska Unicameral as governor, I reflected on the past eight legislative sessions and what we have been able to accomplish for Nebraska. By working together, we have made One Nebraska more than a mere slogan.
