Yeah, can't have those nasty old guns in the hands of law abiding citizens. They should be where they belong -- in the hands of robbers, rapists, and other criminals. Can't have all those people defending themselves now, can we? We should be like Wash, DC, the murder capital of the nation and keep those guns away from honest citizens? Yeah, right. Idiot.
Cagle must be a Democrat...sure sounds like one, anyway.

Mr Holmes hit the cause of this increase dead-center accurate and places the blame squarely where it belongs; with the minimization of the adult black male's role in the family and the curse of low expectations.
Excellent comments, sir.

Didn't I see this guy in a Charles Atlas ad...as the sand kickee?
C'mon...corruption is high office is taken for granted or shrugged off and we are given this as news??
To think people actually pay good money to view this wimpy dude. Please -- leave his shirt on, OK?
What happened to the Schwarzeneggers?
Signs of the [1984] times, I guess, previews of things to come, and rampant socialism both concealed and ignored.

I have a satellite dish for TV and comcast for high speed internet [as well as their unwanted cable TV].
Comcast forces me to subscribe to their cable TV service out here even though I do not use it and have told them I do not want it. They told me if I want their Internet service I will also buy their cable TV service, period. Take it or leave it.
Here in the north end of the county, we have no other high quality Internet provider. Needless to say, I cannot wait for EPB, or even AT&T -- whoever gets here first -- to provide high-speed fibre-optic service at any price; I will drop comcast in a New York minute.
To top it off, comcast is now starting to limit our usage, only allowing so many Gigs of bandwidth per month, claiming too many movies or something being downloaded. They are evidently turning into the Internet police...

Ah, singsing, so it WAS your alma mater.
I am well aware of the value of seatbelts, having installed them in my car -- and used them -- years before they were required fixtures. To say nothing of the uncounted military and civilian flights I have been on.
And yes, I CAN imagine driving a van full of kids without seatbelts installed, much less used. It is called a "school bus"...
You continue to assume the children were not under control or that the mother was somehow incapable of caring for them. Could it be some drunk driving home from the SingSing Club [or whatever] after a night of debauchery may have been at fault? High winds? Wet road?
You are so quick to judge the inexperience of the young. This girl's life and those of her children have ended without really having started. And therein lies the pity.

Yeah, gee whiz. Maybe immigrants to our country, particularly the illegal ones, might even learn English... Ya think? Maybe they might even assimilate into OUR culture instead of expecting US to kowtow to THEIRS.

"Practicing homosexual Christian" is a contradiction in terms.
Homosexuals and their empowering headshrinkers in the APA will NEVER accept that homosexuality can and is being cured. To accept that FACT would be to accept that what homosexuals do in the bedroom is NOT inherited but is their choice and that their sexual appetites are also neither inborn nor normal in our society.
Homosexual group-leaders continue in their desperate attempts to compare themselves and their "struggles" [read demands] for social acceptance with the race-based civil rights fight for the specifically-recognized Constitutional right to racial equality in all things. Just as if their CHOICE of a same-sex partner is the equivalent of the non-choice of genetically-passed skin color. They compare apples and bears [sic].

Is it not enough that this family lost so much? Must you heap insult upon injury?
Hopefully, Mr Blair and his family will find it in their hearts this season to ignore your cold-hearted comments and pray that you will not suffer a loss of this magnitude. My condolences go out to them in their terrible time of grief.
You hypocrites assume SO much...are you smug in your condemnation of this mother? A woman of whom you know absolutely nothing? Are you perhaps happy she has received some sort of "punishment" for her actions regarding her children? For the last poster, how do you even know the children weren't adopted or being raised for a relative? Even if they were her biological children, what possible business of yours is her age? For shame, holier-than-thou muffintop [what a cutsey-poo login].
As for you, singsing76 [is that your alma mater or something?], what makes you think seatbelts would have saved any of them? Did you check out the wreck looking at all the details?

First of all, Dear Abby, there is absolutely NO reliable information, studies, or anything in the human genome that indicates homosexuality and/or lesbianism is inborn. Period. Any studies indicating otherwise are flawed or biased for one reason or another, the most common being the "researcher" is homosexual or lesbian him/her self and has a personal agenda. There is simply NO evidence either way...and NO proof is NOT proof.
Homosexuality and/or lesbianism [obviously, they are not the same thing], IS CURABLE. It has and is being done time and again. Anyone who claims differently is misinformed, at best.
Agreed, there are some very limited circumstances involving special conditions that pre-dispose an unborn child to prefer a same-sex relationship but they are not genetic in nature and are so rare as to be almost unique.
"Sports" also exist -- one-time genetic mutations that do not breed true, should they try. Again, they are very rare.
So, Abby, stop trying to socially legitimize an unnatural sexual act performed on a continuing, exclusive basis by less than three percent of our population [by their own leadership's sworn testimony before the US Supreme Court]. You do our society and our children a terrible wrong expressing such a "progressive" viewpoint from your bully pulpit. This child needs psychiatric help, not pablum and "feel good" advice.
