Agreed, Bill. Soft faces, hard cases, hit you with their deadly smile...   


Children with no moral or religious guidance are cast rudderless into the world.

Nice attempt to conflate the two things. Yep, that's the Christian way! I'll plump for moral any day. I know loads of rudderless people who manage to find their own decent, moral way through life without, or in spite of, "religious guidance." Conversely, I know of, or hear about, lots of people who hide under the veneer of "religious guidance" to think horrible thoughts and do horrible things. One of 'em has just dropped out of the Republican race. Another is still in it. A few others run Israel.
