I STILL have relatives in York and read the Evening Press on line every now and then. I have other relatives in San Francisco and Denver and check their local papers quite often.

Recently there were major stories about sex abuse of children in all three papers and, of course, one from New York.

With all of this on the micro level, and September 11 and July 7 and its follow up on the macro level, I have to wonder how much longer we will put up with organised religions and their "faith-based initiatives"?

More importantly, how much longer will we keep exposing our children to their dangers?
