Yesterday came news that government health agencies in New York and Florida have been (inadvertently?)
supplying and paying for Viagra for hundreds of registered sex offenders. Many
were rapists; some of the victims were young children (one was a child age 2!).
Hopefully, news this outrageous will prompt concerned citizens everywhere to
finally mobilize in order to urge their legislators to clamp down on this
problem. But, then again, that may just be a dream of mine to see this level of
concern publicly demonstrated for our children.
Would someone please explain to me how we, as Americans, can
pride ourselves on being such an ethically and morally forthright country when
we have placed such a low value on our most innocent citizens, namely our
children? I know I'm generalizing, since most parents love and care for
their children. But, as a whole, our society does not seem to have its
priorities straight. I hope and pray this will change, and sooner rather than
later.
