What's happening to you America?

[Shell B]

I've lived within 25 miles of the spot I'm currently seated in for pretty much my entire life, excepting the first five years of my life (SF Bay area) and my time in the army (mostly KY and AL). I've traveled throughout most of the country, with the exception of much of the the east coast and New England (which is on my list of places to visit before I die).

I can't really imagine living many other places. New England does seem charming, though.

I've traveled the bulk of the country too. I had an itch to move around in my late teens and early twenties. Once I got back home, I realized that I didn't want to leave again.

New England is charming. We've got vast expanses of forests, culturally sound cities, shores for miles and towns dedicate purely to the celebration of doing members of the same sex. Oh, and shopping. There is always shopping in those dang gay towns.

The only hope we can have is that the kids were placed in relatively decent facilities.

Corporate whores who bribe judges don't seem like they would be overly concerned with the kids.

I can't argue with that. State standards might have at least kept that in check. The kids might stand to get settlements out of it. No silver lining by a long shot, but at least the guy was nailed so they have a shot.
