Nah, you can't have it both ways. Either the results aren't there--in which case there isn't that big a problem, and this stuff is mainly sensationalism--or the results are there--in which case the system is working. This is a logical conclusion based on your point about all the things people have tried.
It's a big problem that's taken a couple of generations to come to a head. See how the national media is treating your buddies down in Florida? Look into the callibur of journalits behind those by lines. Some of these guys covered The Seed when it was the summer sensation story.
And they're not quitting with just Guy Tunnell, Frank McKeithen and the thugs they employed there in Bay County, either. They're digging into their affiliates and associates, who else they've beat up during their careers and, most importantly, where they got their training. I've seen reference to the `93 DOJ report on boot camps in the mainstream at least a dozen times in the past week or so. Hell, even Faux News came down hard on those struggling turkeys, using words like coverup, murder and torture. They even focused conversation for a good sustained minute on the particularly sadistic practice of repeatedly reviving the victim w/ smelling salts so they can fully apreciate the "counseling".
When you can't even count on Faux to support an extreme authoritarian position on any issue, I think I hear the fat lady clearing her voice.
Just think; by the time we all retire, these kids will be in charge of Social Security. I don't know about you, but I'm stackin' up the brownie points right about
now! LOL
There is so much in the bible against which every insinct of my being rebels, so much so that I regret the necessity which has compelled me to read it through from beginning to end. I do not think that the knowledge I have gained of its history and sources compensates me for the unpleasant details it has forced upon my attention.
