Oh for heaven's sake - on a general and historical level, and just on GP I guess I assumed that didn't need to be stated.

On a specific level, there wasn't anything wrong with her taking her daughter to the ballgame.

Once again - the focus, at least on this thread, is (maybe I can summarize) how much of a minor's life can be placed in the public domain due to the position of her parents. You want to talk about parental rights? That's a whooole different story, don't you think?
you're kidding me, right? there is nothing wrong with her going to the b game. what is wrong is the way she has USED her children both up front and from behind to advance her position. she is part of a hypocritical movement of faux conservative xtians who believe their families are warriors in some imaginary cultural war in which they seek to save not only their souls but mine as well. we excuse the bleep out of me for expressing absolute outrage that some of this lowbrow, idiotic caliber can even be take seriously for one moment. she is, in a word, a shrew. i'd use the other words but they would be censored.

sure, you can talk to god, but if you don't listen then what's the use? so, onward through the fog!
