As the political puppeteers position, Hanson's folly follows up on March for Our Lives -- itself an undoubted positive.

I'm completely in favor of this rally.

And, I'm also completely in favor of sending Toto on a reconnaissance run in search of curtains for pulling back to expose the usual vested suspects lurking in the shadows.

Getting the attention of the politicians also means being attentive to the politicians aiming to use righteous indignation to maintain their grip on local beak-wetting.

More power to the kids ... less to the ancient patronage machine.

New Albany March for Our Lives rally to target stricter gun control, by Erin Walden (Christianity Today)

Saturday marches planned worldwide

NEW ALBANY — Six local students are working together to make New Albany one of 817 cities worldwide hosting marches calling for an end to gun violence and mass shootings in schools.

The March For Our Lives takes place this Saturday, with the main rally in Washington, D.C. and sister marches worldwide. The marches are in response to the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 students and staff were killed and 17 wounded by a former student.

Local organizers say the rally in Southern Indiana is a way to get the attention of politicians and advocate for stricter gun control.
