<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm very much anti-government control over our
lives. However, I am all for intelligent intervention to rescue
children from sexual and other abuse.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>For example, when the gov't raided Waco, I was all for it in
theory, for 2 reasons -- Koresh was sexually abusing young girls (with their
stupid parents' consent). And his ever-growing cache of illegal
weapons pretty much demonstrated he meant it when he had widely broadcasted
before: "Blood will run in the streets of Waco."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Koresh turned a group of religious fanatics (legal) into an
appalling criminal operation (illegal). Those children couldn't be rescued
soon enough, in my opinion.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>BUT -- as I said -- I'm all for INTELLIGENT
intervention. The ATF totally blew that! I remember watching the
coverage with my mouth agape, trying to decide who was dumber -- the ham-handed
ATF operation -- or the parents inside who were irresponsible and disgusting
enough to turn their daughters over to Koresh. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>And how awful now in the polygamy raids -- they had an
undercover agent in there for 4 years who knew that young girls were used for
sexual slavery -- ownership often against their will by what can only be
TRUTHFULLY described as dirty old men! Why didn't the raid take place long
ago??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>And what's wrong with people who look askance at removing
kids from sexual abuse?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>When I first glanced at it, I initially saw this story simply
as a tabloid style / whip the public into a frenzy over nothing so we can
really do something meaningful back here kind of thing.<BR><BR>However doing a
bit of internet reading alarms started going off in my head... reading things
like this quote sounded a lot less like the usual simple media hysteria and a
lot more to me like actions of a shifting society as described in <SPAN

Warning to a Young Patriot</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"> by Naomi

<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>About 1953, the state of Arizona National Guard raided a polygamist
colony called Short Creek on the Utah/Arizona border, and separated the kids
from their mothers, and threw the men in jail. The people of the nation were
so outraged by it, that there have not been polygamy prosecutions since.
(Unless you want to consider Waco to be an anti-polygamist raid.) So while
polygamy is not legal, the laws against it are not enforced."

reading that law enforcement has removed over 400 children from their homes
based on an prank call sounds pretty darned alarming to me from that
perspective.<BR><BR>~ Alissa<BR>
