Re: Halloween sex offender "round-up"
It's that kind of nonsense that convinced Americans we should get entangled in a costly war, and the neo-cons are once again trying to use fear in order to control the public.
States and communities aren't taking any chances? Ridiculous. That's the same reasoning Bush is spouting for attacking Iran. How can people bu so mistrusting of government when it comes to foreign policy but fall in line when it comes to sex offender rhetoric?
