It's doubly hard for me in some ways. You know, it's really difficult 
for me sometimes to be restrained.


Just last week I saw a kid get reamed by his mom because he wanted to 
feed a quarter into one of those insipid bubble-gum machines. No. No, 
no, NO! NO! No way, not now, not EVER! No no no!


Jesus Christ. It's twenty-five fucking cents, and here you just blew 
three sawbucks on Twinkies and flavored water. Give the nip a fucking 
quarter.


When did children become commodities? Is this part of the Reaganomics 
revolution?


Meanwhile, I vacillate. I want to slap people. Or shoot them dead. And 
the middle ground can be hard to find. How weird is it to want to 
cherish a child, but remove his parents?

Black Days In July

[Deborah Harrell]

Commuters in London, children getting candy in Iraq,
holiday-makers in Egypt...there is no excuse or
justification for such attacks.

Then there was this:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/france/story/0,11882,1537600,00.html
Key figures in the largest child abuse trial ever held
in France were sentenced to up to 28 years in jail
yesterday after a jury convicted them of raping,
molesting and prostituting children, including their
own.  The court found that between January 1999 and
February 2002, the 65 defendants had sexually abused
45 children, then aged from six months to 14 years,
sometimes in exchange for cash, drink, cartons of
cigarettes or, on one occasion, a car tyre...

...The case has been described by lawyers and social
workers involved as a barely imaginable example of the
breakdown of all social, moral and human values in a
closed and deprived community. 

A 28-year prison term was given to Philippe V, 59, who
had already served a 13-year term for child abuse and
was described by prosecutors as an indifferent
monster who had, over the years, raped his daughter,
son and four grandchildren. He told the court that he
couldn't give a toss about his offspring... 


No excuse.  None.
