"Mothers of River City, heed the warning before it's too late! Watch for the tell-tale signs of corruption! The moment your son leaves the house, does he rebuckle his knickerbockers below the knee? Is there a nicotine stain on his index finger? A dime novel hidden in the corn crib? Is he starting to memorize jokes from Captain Billy's Whiz Bang? Are certain words creeping into his conversation? Words like 'swell'? And 'so's your old man'?" ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Same old song. America's youth survived the psychedelic 60s, the gyrations of Elvis Presley, the "devil's music" called rock 'n roll, and every form of popular media that's been used as a scapegoat for juvenile crime and violence and teen pregnancy. They'll survive today's stuff too.

Ma'am; you are dimmm bulb... What is missing from the lives of many, if not most children watching too much t.v., is enough parental supervision... And why??? You so called moral, and fiscal conservatives are responsible in large part for the drivng down of wages, and for economic pressure so great that mothers must work along with fathers... Did your representative vote for the parental leave act??? Did they do anything to help the poor mother??? I mean, Mothers have children, which is a dirty, no respect job to begin with, and mothers are forced by necessity to drop their babies, and get back to work... Where is the Love???? Where is the close contact and caring between people, and families... Parents are miserable as parents, and children are miserable as children, and the parents cannot act like children unless wealthy; but the children can seek love, -that singular quality missing from so many lives and our society as a whole... But, poor babies; where can they learn love??? Who will teach them love... If they go to church they can more easily learn hate than love... In their own families they can often see people hard pressed lashing out in pain and frustration... In their society as a whole, or in their schools all they can see is the beautiful and the wealthy getting by, being massaged, courted, and loved...In politics, hate, anger, lies, fear, and threat reign supreme... I don't blame children left on their own for clinging to each other, caring about love, wanting the commitment of love and the pleasure of sex. They are human enough to recognize their needs, and honest enough to admit them... All the rest of us deny our needs and deny to others their needs... We deny our own pain to tolerate the abuse of the economy; and we deny the pain of others...We have created an emotional waste land in America, -a heartless, cold, and unforgiving place of sin and vice, hate and contempt... How do people live here??? Can't we see what we do to ourselves and to each other, and to our children??? Don't we see the result of our pain in world wide pollution and wars??? The evil we do each other in the name of good to ourselves, that we get little enough of, just goes on and on and on... There has to be an end... We need to learn how to care for each other... We need to stand up for our rights and the rights of the family... Some one has to be there for the children who loves them, and can teach them love... They will never get that from a television set... Thanks...Sweeney

"Teens & Sex" - It's called "Too many Illegitimates born to single women, by several different men, and they surely will not be "trained or disciplined" at home!" These illegitimate children, of all races, don't have a chance, as they're stuck in an environment that's been created by other illegitimate parents! "It's a way of life!" The more kids they have the more welfare benefits they collect. Welfare was started for a temporary solution and to help those who "Want to work to help themselves!" These illegitimates commit robberies, rape, murder, and eventually wind up in prison! THIS IS TERRORISM ON AMERICAN SOIL & HAS TO STOP! THIS "NO-CHILD LEFT BEHIND" & "WIN-WIN" IS A FIRST CLASS JOKE! Only one (1) out of several thousand will pay attention to someone who really cares about them and will want to change their life! Some of the people (writers & actors) have started speaking out on this, as they are becoming victims! Is it too late to take your neighborhoods back that's infested with the "Hang" on the corners' illegimitates who are producing more illegitimate kids. All these kids are the ones being sent from classrooms because of their violence, abuse & disrespect for the Principals, Teachers & their classmates (this is why so many Teachers are quitting or retiring early). 'FAIR TAX', to include property taxes, should be top priority, so hard-working Taxpayers can put their children and grandchildren into good Christian Schools, before it's too late! WAKE UP, TAXPAYERS - IT'S UP TO YOU!

Re: Shirley deLong;... Ma'am, where is the support structure??? Where is the caring??? Where is your caring??? Have you spent your last dime saving some mother from that terrible choice??? Have you made your home a community of hope, or a refuge against the storms of life??? It is all too easy to make a law, and no number of laws can make a single person care.... What is love??? Is it not caring??? Is it not forgiveness??? Is it not acceptence??? Is it not sacrifice??? Is it not sharing??? Many enough people say: leave me what is mine, but punish the girl who gives herself to love... Those babies are our hope... That is our future; and we leave them to raise themselves.. What a nonsense argument is put out... We know it is hopeless... We know before we start that to love others as ourselves is a hopeless proposition... We see ourselves when we see clearly, as needing love, but we do not want love from the dirty, the heartless, or the diseased...We want love from the perfect, the clean, and the privileged... How blind we can be to the goodness in humanity... Certainly, we want love, and need love; but the beauty we desire is skin deep, and our worth is a pitiful thing... Until we can love the hopeless and deformed, the cruel and abused we will never have the love we need, which is only self love... Forget loving people love who cannot love you in return... Only give them justice because justice is beauty, and if you give them beauty, you will find love an easy curse....Thanks...Sweeney
