I may have to stop watching Frontline, lest I be driven to patronize Eli Lilly. If you have a high tolerance for the depressing you should watch this episode:

It's funny there was a ballot prop in CA a number of years back that gave prosecutors the independent power to try children as adults. I voted that year specifically to vote against that proposition. It passed 66 to 33 % (of course).

Another interesting thing is my continued belief that parenticide should not be punished as harshly as a normal murder (I mean, jeesh, if someone is going to kill someone, I'd think that their parents are probably, ipso facto, deserving).

This holds even more true if you are a libertarian. All libs should be registered republican this Election and then go back for the next one.

I used to argue that Fascism ala Germany or China's Cultural revolution, was something which could happen just about anywhere, given not so unlikely changes in the culture/political climate.

Now, though, I think I may be coming around to the (nice and racist) idea that, in fact, Germans - like Walt Disney and Mayor Quimby's nephew - simply have the evil gene....

2 quotes if you don't want to read the whole thing:

"a court in the Westphalian county of Gütersloh sentenced a couple to imprisonent, six days for the mother followed by six days for the father, because the parents had refused to let their children attend a Christmas school play"

"politician Ute Schäfer ... stated that the obligation to attend a government approved school follows from the “right of a child to free education and maturation.” "

John stossel doesn't exactly inspire confidence for some reason I can't quite put my finger on (Maybe it is his tv-magazine tendency to make statements I know he can't back up, or maybe it is just the mustache), but when you are right, you are right....
