And how much you want to bet Cassandra Wilson doesn't get tens of thousands of weeping people to gather for her in the Crystal Cathedral, covered live by all the cable news channels, since she's obviously from a trailer park family? No money = no coverage.

I think you're wrong about this. But I also think the imprudence and thoughtlessness (and yes, ignorance) of the father AND mother contributed to this crime.

We are entrusted with the protection of our children. Allowing an unknown man to be alone with a small child is galactically stupid.

Dad will be kicking himself for the rest of his life, and he should.

I think you're wrong about this.

I hope I am. I hope I am.

No reflection on this case - but we are going to see more and more harm to little children in weird family situations. As parents allow their morals to sink lower and lower there children will be in the midst of any kind of low life, any weird sexual situations, any group of drug dealers because that is where they live.

I feel that the drug culture, the pornography available on the internet and the general acceptance of any moral corruption is responsible.

Drugs put people in situations where they are under the influence of a chemical meant to blow their minds, the pornography brings together those interested in it - same as FR brings conservatives together. Bonds are formed, information spread and they give each other permission to act out their desires. The general acceptance of evil in our society gives license to a life of any depravity they chose to dream up.

Now any can flame me all they want - but the truth often hurts. Something is happening to our culture and you have to look at what has changed from earlier times. Drugs, internet pornography and more use of the internet, and acceptance of any corruption are the changes.
