Love Spell,
Trust and believe that I am not getting caught up in the spin. The case I referenced is more common than not. And thanks to the USA Patriot ACT they are escalating. YOU and the general public don't hear about them because of the spin put forth by Ashcroft and company. I do because of who I work for. And in this case it did not make the papers until we did the press conference announcing that we were taking the case.

Solutions? Restore the budget cuts of social service agencies that deal with prevention and intervention. Restore the budget cuts to agencies that have missions of strengthening families. Pass laws that will make it easier for people who made mistakes as youth to turn their lives around, e.g. give financial aid to those who have felony convictions and/or did not register for the draft so they can get an education that will allow them to raise their economic status legally. Without such safety nets there will continue to be an upswing in criminal behavior.
