- Hey, I don't know about you, but my family has had a father, a mother and
- children since they first got here in the 1600's. For that matter, the idea
- of a traditional family goes as far back as you like. A family consisting of
- one, unmarried parent who decides to adopt (or just get pregnant, in the case
- of women), or same sex couples who decide to follow the same route, or fathers
- who do just that - father - and then boogy, has never been accepted as the
- normal, majority family.

-
- We're talking here about women who complain that their advancement is hampered
- by not being able to serve in combat units. If they "chose" to join a unit
- that is involved in combat, then they shouldn't have the right to "chose" when
- they actually see combat. You chose the unit, you accept the job.

- Wow, even a broken clock is right twice a day. I do agree the Postal

-
- >2) does the public school (in and of themselves) do a poor job, or
- >is what they have to work with poor material?
-
- The school system has always worked with "poor" material. The problem here
- is that parents either don't have input, or don't use it.
-
- procecute presidents Reagan and Bush for thier part in Iran-Contra.
-
- >Did they break laws? If so, why should they be immune from procecution.
-
- You mean to say if you break a law, you should be punished? Wow, what a
- radical idea. Does this also apply to Alan Cranston, Jim Wright, Tony Cuello,
- Max Savage, and all the other liberal Dems whose party has given them a free
- ride?

-
- Nope, when it moved into the city, it was "un-built". And the fact that
- it hasn't been "rebuilt" is the problem. The American Family has not been
- destroyed, there's just too many parents who don't take the responsibility of
- being a parent seriously, and too many people like yourself who add to the
- problem.

-
- In the case of rebuilding what a family should be - YOU BET! Take responsibily
- for what you do. Teach responsibility to your kids. Sure, family values are
- under assault - look, we just elected a prez who doesn't take his marriage
- vows seriously. I'm watching 60 Minutes right now, and there's a jerk from
- ACTUP on blaming everyone but himself for his AIDS. Parents who never go
- to a parent-teacher conference or a PTA meeting or a school board meeting
- whine about the schools. The big word here is RESPONSIBILITY.
