I read this on the Globe's editoral page this morning. I would like to cancel that rag, but it is the best way I can think of to take the pulse of the raging Lefist mindset here in the "enlightened" Northeast.

My sisters and I were put through a convent high school by our parents. There was no discussion. No fighting, no swearing, no lashing out. Heaven help the teenaged girl who thought she needed to express angst. This was during the Vietnam years. The nuns didn't care about the student's views, only about academics and achievement. In a school of nearly six hundred girls, there was ONE girl rumoured to be "fast". I was reminded of this just the other day at the local McDonald's. The afterschool crowd came in and a little girl (4-5 yrs. old) was with her mother. This tiny little girl was wearing a black fishnet top and low rider pants. The nuns who taught me would have beat the stuffing out of the mother of that child. The convent school I attended no longer exists. I was protected during my most vunerable years, what's to become of the little girl in the fishnet?

"...what's to become of the little girl in the fishnet?"


Since you said she was 4-5 years old, I imagine that in about 10 years she'll be walking into some McDonald's, still wearing a fishnet and lowriders....and carrying a newborn baby.
