A place that had children soon will have teenagers and with that follows drugs, violence and disrespect for private property and a complete lack of concern for common courtesy. Too many times I have lived in many places around this country and seen teenagers abuse elders, enlist in gangs and assault and kill people, pre-teens who run into you in stores and don't apologize and the parents often times expect you to tolerate it because after all they are just children right? <BR/><BR/>A place without children is a place where respectful adults can live out their lives without having to worry about other people's bad parenting, having to be concerned for their safety when they go to a convenience store after 9pm and it is littered with teenagers and young adults (<21) who are looking to get into trouble. <BR/><BR/>I think there should be more places like this around the country. Keep the kids in suburban hell with their over-achieving "keeping-up-with-the-Joneses" parents where they belong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-72339617762781421252007-05-09T10:10:00.000-04:002007-05-09T10:10:00.000-04:00And I believe, had it been me, at the moment when ...And I believe, had it been me, at the moment when I was escorted to the basement at mass, I would have left and never looked back.

Your post gave me the same scared-to-the-bone-what-in-the-world-can-I-possibly-do?! feeling that his talk did. I went home and promptly read The Marketing of Evil (<A HREF="http://snoringscholar.blogspot.com/2006/09/marketing-of-evil-by-david-kupelian.html" REL="nofollow">reviewed here</A>). Hmm. Much to think about with this post and so much else in our world! But I can't help but think...maybe it was good for those people to see your children, to be exposed to the pitter-patter and the joy that is children (though maybe they could not see it for all the dogs in their midst...).Sarah Reinhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682511477646768745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-36006388449042629012007-05-02T07:58:00.000-04:002007-05-02T07:58:00.000-04:00I wish I were!
