Amen to that, LEJ! ';^)

Ljc: What bit of Bill's post did you object to? The only part I had trouble with was the concept that teenagers will be "ok" if they're left alone to hang out. Perhaps that works if they're not left alone as children – if they're brought up to be mindful of others' rights and feelings and respectful of their own bodies and characters – but sometimes, even then, they don't turn out "ok."

By the way, were there some lines missing from the original poem? I see no rhyming line for "The law is specific, the law is precise." I assume that there was no rhyming line for "So, Lord, this silent plea I make:" since it was a silent plea!
