Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

The notion was that it's their own child and they've already suffered a great deal because of that. I really do not understand how some people can't see this... So if I kill someone else's child but I feel really really REALLY bad about it then I should be get off the hook because I'm suffering too...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

You can parse words by talking about "some demographics" But the fact of the matter is that the majority of children in this country living in single parent households are the result of divorce and separation, not Black teenagers having children out of wedlock. Rather than number of house...

Re: Justice

I try to avoid putting myself in situations around murderers. How do you identify murderers so you know who to avoid? Statistical analysis is a good way to start. I live 30 minutes from a city with one of the highest murder rates in America. There are some simple steps to take: #1, avoid doing thin...
