Be a better parent. What better opportunity is there to teach proper moral

I do realize that many parents are simply to lazy or irresponsible to be of
much use as parents but that's the only real answer and it's also the whole
problem.
The same is true for abortion and other like issues. Making this illegal
won't appreciably reduce demand. If you want to reduce demand bring kids up
not to "demand" the things in the first place. As long as that demand exists
a supply will be at hand. That may outrage some but the facts remain outrage
or no...


Ok, I can go along with that up to a point. Raising moral children is a
good solution. On the other hand, you still don't want to live in a
society that has absolutely no limits. I don't think we need a whore
house on every corner under some bogus idea of "free speech". Sensible
limits should be set by our elected representatives not by some judge
who misinterprets the Constitution.
That's only my opinion.

FBI Handcuffed
October 27, 2002

By Heather Mac Donald

CIA director George Tenet warned recently that the threat from al
Qaeda is as high as it was before 9/11. Unfortunately, there is
another parallel to the pre-9/11 environment: Clinton-era guidelines
that had paralyzed the county's intelligence agencies by 2001 - and
still govern our anti-terrorism efforts.


In 1999 The Hart Rudman commission [1] finished it's recommendations
to reorganize the US intel services and this was ready to go when Bush
took the oath. Many of the recommendations would have probably
prevented 9-11 from happening.

Bush stonewalled the H-R recommendations unil the families of the
victims of 9-11 shamed him into paying attention.
