Of course the danger of guns can't really be understood by kids until they have a thorough understanding of what death is. And at what age does that generally occur?
Evolutionists: Please locate proof, documented in an established scientific journal, of an observed case, in a controlled laboratory environment, of a population of a particular species of plant or animal producing offspring (in any number of successions) of a different species.
Creationists: Please provide two or more eyewitnesses to God's having created Man or any plant or animal species. These individuals must be living, and willing to testify to various government and news agencies. They also must be willing to undergo an extensive battery of psychological tests.
My two things: 1) As you point out, the federal government is paying the interest on your loans. That means the bill is being footed by US citizens(people like me). The loans are provided to pay your educational expenses, and investing is not really an educational expense.
2) There is nothing wrong with investing the money wisely while you have it. You should do it in a way that is not risky and leaves the money accessible. I'd use a money market account. If you're lazy, go set up a paypal money market account, if you want security go to a local bank or credit union.
Going back to point one, if you're taking out loans in considerable excess of what you are using for college expenses each semester and hoarding the cash (whether invested or not), you're either breaking the law, breaking the contract on the loan, or simply venturing into the cold land of ethically questionable behavior.
