UPDATED... SEX OFFENDERS IN THE U.S.... ANGRY AND FEELING LIKE PUKING... WHY NOT LAY OFF MY CIGS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT... AFTER THE VIDEO... THIS...

["Gov will hike cigarette tax on extender"; You Tube; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUAmCrqLJOs ]

Heres an idea:  Why not stop concerning yourselves [allegedly] about "my" health - and our children's health --- and do something [with all of that "concern"] about these creeps?????

Quote:  "...the 5,200 [sex] offenders in the ["civil committment"] program are costing states hundreds of millions of dollars more than anyone envisioned. In California alone, the cost per offender averages $96,000 a year, about double what it would cost to send them to an Ivy League university..." ["TalkeRR - Sexual Predators - Road Runner":  http://www.rr.com/news/talkerrpredator/ [info in brackets mine]

WHY CAN'T THEY WORK - ON SITE - AND PAY AT LEAST SOME OF THIS THEMSELVES?  ARE THEY LIVING AT THE RITZ?

My aging mother and my sister [who has multiple sclerosis] could use a free ride and chaperone (sp?) to church too!

Yeah.  Mark their license.  Put em in ankle bracelets.  Put trackers on their cars.  Have someone actually MONITOR all of this 24/7 - AND dress them [the offenders...] in an easily identifyable uniform [no gold chains please] that they have to wear 24/7...

Then - use all of that money [being spent on the program noted - linked to - in the first entry] to send our children and grandchildren [tuition free] to community college - by making those who are apparently "staying at the 'Ritz'" (in a manner of speaking...  $90,000 plus cost per containee per year....?!!!?) work off at least half of the program costs!

There is no excuse - ever - for laying a unkind or sexuated hand on a child. 

NONE.

How about a ZERO TOLERANCE law?  It is long (in my opinion) overdue.....!
