Tom: That 17 year-old writes well, but his thinking is flawed and he overlooks the facts. He writes: Much attention has been given to the decline in youth values after events like the atrocious Columbine massacre. The experts and pundits often blame the easy-accessible R-rated movies that are filled with death, violence, sex, and profanity. Other experts reproach the rappers who produce CDs that glorify violence and profanity. While others denounce the excessively violent video games. The three above items may indeed be inappropriate and much too easily accessible to children. However, over the past eight years the three were not nearly as prominent in our society as the former First Family was. Let me tell you, Tom, what is going on. Doctors indiscriminately dose kids with Ritalin and Prozac. These dangerous drugs cause serious chemical imbalances that can push kids over the edge as was the case with the shooters at Columbine and the one in Springfield. The woman who drowned her five children was taking those drugs. Parents are PAID to keep their ADD children dosed up on drugs, when simply changing diets from sugar laden and highly processed garbage to more vegetables and fruits, rice and no sugar would cure a huge percentage of out of control children. Diabetes is epidemic among people 35 and under. It's no mystery the cause is fast foods and too much refined sugar. The child who wrote that had caring and attentive on-scene parents. Both parents have to work to pay for the multi million dollar salaries of corporate CEO's and now tax breaks back to the stone age for corporations as well as bailouts. What daycare center worker is going to love a child and give him the attention a parent would. These children are not nurtured, they're ignored. A child who has not learned empathy by AGE THREE, NEVER WILL, and we have many disconnected children in this country as a result of no parents at home. I could go on forever, but the Clintons are a mere reflection of the moral decay of this country, not the catalyst for it. Anyway, if Hill and Bill are such a bad influence, why has the one child most greatly influenced by them, Chelsea, managed to turn out so well? I suspect you'll blame Jenna's problems on Bill?
