"In all honesty, I think that the Midwest is one of the best places to raise one's kids".

How would you know? Have you also raised kids in the South? Have you raised kids in the Northeast? The East?. Have you also raised kids in the Southwest? The Northwest?

I light of what has occured recently, we are all Americans, so in all honesty to you beckie, I think America is one of the best places to raise one's kids.

Thanks for your input...I agree with you, I have never and would never say that America is not the best place to raise one's kids, because it is. I just love where I live that's all and judging from your response, you do too.
