    To Pro-War: Will you send your kids to war?

    Interesting. Any word on the Navy raising the age limit? UPDATE: Just found this post online by a possible Naval Reserve recruiter: Actually you are eligible until you turn 40. It's true if you have active duty years or "good" reserve years for retirement, they actually come off your age...

    Iowa Sex Offenders Near Schools Must Move

    Not personally, but I do have a good friend from HS who was molested by her uncle. It has taken her a long time to move on with her life and I doubt it will ever go completely away from her mind. She does seem happier now at least...

    Iowa Sex Offenders Near Schools Must Move

    There probably is some PR benefit here for politicians, yet it also gives the police another tool to arrest a convicted child-molester particularly if they are banned from even being in the area. Agreed, usually the courts. Part of the problem we are having is that some of these offenders...
