Some lasted 17 minutes in honor of the 17 people killed one week earlier at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.Students at many of the protests called for stronger gun control and said they’re taking action to protect schools because Congress hasn’t.Hundreds of students in Maryland left class to rally outside the U.S. Capitol, some carrying signs saying “Make Our Schools Safer.”Students at Simon Kenton High School near Cincinnati marched around their school chanting “Never again.”More walkouts are already being planned for March 14, a month after the Florida shooting.Students participate in a protest against gun violence February 21, 2018 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. less

I will say, "did you leave me a message?", which usually gets answered with, "Um....no."If you don't leave a message, how the heck am I going to know who you are or what you want? I do return any message I get. There are too many spam callers out there for me to answer a number I don't recognize.
