I'm for pot being legal, what are you talking about, are you high? Can you prove the earth isn't flat? I mean really RF. If I was so stupid as to believe the Bible and say the earth was flat, would you waste your time proving it wasn't? I hope not as that would be really stupid. Therefore I am not going to back up the fact that our prisons are over flowing with peaceful pot smokers. You look it up and figure it out for yourself.

I would like to see some followup as there was some question if the accused man was really guilty. There is no question the father beat the accused. In America you do not take the law into your own hands. If you hear any follow up please post it.

Why shouldn't the government invest in promoting marriage, including providing economic incentives, and marriage education? The objective is reduced reliance of the state, and stable families which reduces welfare costs.<quoted text>Sounds great in theory, but the reality is often far different. Freedom and liberty carries with it responsibility on the part of the individual. There is no such thing as "society". What you are talking about are Christians with power who influence all of us. Even the most avid Anti-theist probably carries some Christian baggage around. The government should not be promoting marriage because it is NOT a legitimate function of Government. The First Amendment covers this: we are free to form our associations and that means no government promotions. Because it is not the government but Christians in the government who are promoting their Christianity. Once has to be clear about these things.

Which failes to educate, BTW. We now throw 400 times as much money at "education" as we did 20 years ago, and the results are hardly any different than when we threw 400 times less money at the schools. More money does not equal better test scores. Government can not fix "education" and government has no business taking the responsibility to educate their children away from parents.
