Should you let the government parent your children?
http://www.parentalrights.org (after reading through the information in this treaty, I hope you will sign the petition too, there is a red box on the right hand side!)
Government is pretty much doing something like that here in UK. The result : more teenage pregnancy, more divorce rate, and more crime. I think God knows best that's why He design marriage.
I'm sooooo glad the conservatives are finally picking up on this thing. I heard about it a while ago and have been crossing my fingers ever since. . .wondering when it was going to come up.
This makes me nervous! Very nervous! Soon they will allow kids to sue their parents because they didn't like what was served for dinner. Too many veggies!
No wonder so many kids act so self-righteous, they know that their parents can't do anything about it. Grrrrrrr

Oh, Martha! This is scary. I have no more adjectives to describe the horror I feel when I see the path we're taking. Keep praying, my friend!
Thanks for sharing this! Any ideas on what country we should all move to? :) Ugh! Truly frightening.
