The War on Terrorism May 6, 2006
Posted by fmmh in : Ramblings , 1 comment so farI’ve decided The War on Terrorism is not only a waste of time and money, but it is an example of how morally backwards Our Nation has its priorities. I don’t believe terrorism is a threat to our way of living. I don’t believe anyone in the United States has anything to fear of any form of terrorism. I don’t believe 9/11 was that big of a deal. Yes, I am still mesmerized, shocked & awed, and all that sad stuff about The Towers, Pentagon, and Flight 93. But, how many people were directly affected? Not that many compared to a bigger issue Our Nation faces . . . sexual predators. According to RAINN . . .
* Every two and a half minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted.* One in six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape, and 10% of sexual assault victims are men.* In 2003-2004, there were an average annual 204,370 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.* About 44% of rape victims are under age 18, and 80% are under age 30.
I’d like to see the leaders of our country divert all efforts and monies to the protection of our children who are at risk of sexual assault, child pornography, and exploitation. The children are our future. Let’s stop worrying so much about border control, who handles which port, how safe the airlines are, or whatever the terrorism worry. Let’s start caring for our children. Let’s protect them. Let’s teach them to grow up and become assertive and non-violent adults, so that, no future generation will have these horrible statistics we have today.
