We have all watched with anger and repugnance at apparently ONE MORE case of another victim falling prey to a repeat sexual predator.

Dru Sjodin, a young, beautiful, loving woman with a loving family and an full life ahead of her, has apparently fallen victim to Carlos Rodriguez, an individual with a long record as a sexual predator, an individual who refused "treatment" for his obsession while incarcerated, an individual who was, ONCE AGAIN, approved for release by YET ANOTHER psychiatrist who should have know better.

My prayers and sympathy go out to the family and friends of Ms. Sjodin, and I hope and pray by some miracle she is still alive and the Father of us all is protecting her.

While this heart-wrenching tragedy is unfolding in the upper mid-west, one of far too many instances of this kind, what, pray tell are our elected Congresspersons up to??????

Well, they passed a law requiring a special license to transport tigers, lions and big cats across state lines.

Thats right. They took the time to pass a law requiring a federal permit to move a lion or tiger, etc. across a state line. And why, pray tell? Becuase one idiot in New York was keeping a tiger and a crocodile in his apartment.

My point is not to argue the merit of a special permit to transport tigers. My argument is time, perspecitve and efficiency. How many Americans have been killed by tigers or lions or crocodiles in the past few centuries, aside from those actually handling them?? I can't recall ONE.

How many Americans, like Dru Sjodin, have fallen victims to violent sexual predators or paedophiles?? Countless numbers.

So what interests our overpaid, over-benefitted, practically-tenured Congressmen?? Tigers and crocodiles.

If you don't want to address a complicated, serious problem, generate a non-existant one and then provide a solution. It looks good in the papers. There is more croc in Congress than croc moving across state lines.

Sexual predators and paedophiles, people who have served notice on society that they are below a ravvenous beast on the scale of rationality, should NEVER get a second chance to re-enact their crimes. They should be locked up for life. It should be a FEDERAL CRIME to commit an act of sexual predation on another human being, using the same assumption that applies in cases of simple kidnapping - that the felon may very well cross state lines. And the penalty should be death or life in prison without parole.

Congress should start dealing with real issues, and leave tigers, lions, corcodiles and law-abiding gun owners ALONE.

How can you justify the millions spent on their upkeep?

I can't.

Either kill 'em, or exile 'em to an island where they can fend for themselves.
