Does that make me a liberal?

Well, if it does, that's 2 of us.

(1) I'd be willing to bet these Children get MORE pressure from Credit Card Companies than from Military Recruiters.
(2) Recruiters won't even attempt to contact your child if he or she is a dummy, slacker or Drug user (there is a proactive defense for you right there)
(3) When you are 17 (at least when I was) if the OLD folks said "don't do it" that is usually the best way to get lots of 17 year olds to do it, so keep it up moms!
(4) My solution is simple "Get the Government out of the Education Business!" problem solved.
