That's weird that this post was even found. I wrote it so long ago and at the time I was really, really angry. I still think it was a grave injustice and I make no apologies, but I also don't agree that the entire country is suffering a massive moral decline. I just think that our society needs to put their political agendas aside and give children the respect that we are obligated to provide. Wow. That’s weird that this post was even found.

Good solid Christians? Not a chance...Our civilization is suffering from a total moral breakdown. It is a disgrace and a tragedy. A man killed for nothing by people with nothing between their ears but savage behavior. NEW YORK — A man was shot to death during a fight over a parking space in Brooklyn, police said. The fight, which broke out early Saturday, may have involved as many as a dozen people on Atlantic Avenue off Third Avenue in Boerum Hill. After the attack, police said, the suspects piled into a couple of SUVs and raced from the scene, leaving Dallas Gilchrist, 34, of Queens, on the ground and clinging to life. Gilchrist, shot five times with a .32-caliber handgun, died about an hour later at Brooklyn Hospital Center. There were no arrests as of Sunday, said Detective Theresa Farello, a police spokeswoman.

Read liberal and conservative blogs and it's no accident that conservatives are much more likely to sympathize and seek justice for the murdered children, whereas liberal blogs and opinions tend to sympathize and seek justice for Andrea. Of course, there are always exceptions, but opinions on this case do tend to be of partisan opinion. Also, the NOW (National Organization for Women) was amongst the first to come out in support of Andrea after the murders (even before they had all the facts) and they contributed to her first defense. It is a known fact that women are given more consideration and leniency when it comes to criminal acts. If it had been a man that committed such a gruesome murder of children, I'm almost certain it would have been there would have been a different outcome. I oppose the ideology that puts the rights of criminals above the rights of children, giving them extra leniency if they're women. I also oppose a legal system that allows for such injustice, especially against children. Monica, actually my argument against feminists and liberals is solid.

But I can see why, with opinions like: "feminists feel children are inferior and owned by them as a material object in which they have a right to do whatever they want with", you might feel this way. It does not however make it true! It seems like might want to step back to take a good look at what exactly you are opposing...is it the legal system? the "rights" of the mentally ill? the lack of protection for children's rights? I don't think that blaming liberals or feminist adds justification to your writing, in fact it compromises it.

And, I don't hate. Quite the contrary. I love children, that's why I advocate for justice on their behalf. There's too many people that have no regard for children, as evident in Andrea Yates acquittal.

Why look for enemies? Why blame feminists and liberals? (Such easy targets!)Why do you rant? Why do you hate? Why turn it into another self-righteous war? Oh yes, all in defense of "society."
