Good Morning Vince! Remember quite a ways back when I described some of the reasons why I read biased articles from a variety of sources? Well, this is precisely why. That article and event (although shocking to most parents), will never be shown in the mainstream press. When you limit your readings to only "mainstream" sources of information, you blind yourself to the biases which exist and remain ignorant of events which may be taking place. Mainstream news sources are extremely pro homosexual causes. As they're extremely pro sex education. So I wouldn't doubt they would spike a story such as the one you described in an instant. Having an elitist view that the only stories worth reading come from mainstream sources which the editors have "properly" analyzed for content is the height of anti-intellectalism to me. As a recent example, the Washington Post is probably one of the most liberal biased newspapers in the country. And this comes from someone who grew up delivering and reading it practically every day. I am glad the article provided you some level of vindication toward the people on this thread who so rudely inferred you were a liar. The internet news sources are opening quite a few eyes these days! Michael
