Dammed if we know. We've got all sorts of lunatics over here and they seem to be running the show.

Americans are all religious and patriotic nuts...they are war mongers and they have their own pedophile Pizza-gate in Washington DC and in Hollywood that spreads their tenticals around the world.
The USA is run by a hand full of rich oligarchy men (the new world order) who own and run the CIA.

I started out this morning feeling sad and lonely. This has gotten my blood "circulating". I feel very much alive, now! Thank you.

America is one big mess! I want out of this country so damn bad, and I am embarrassed to even be an American! Damn fundamentalist!!! Ugh!

The fundamentalist evangelical churches in the south are the worst, openly encouraging young teenage girls to marry guys in their thirties or older. They point to Mary, Joseph and Jesus to justify this as Mary was a teen but forget that according to their Bible it was the Holy Spirit that impregnated Mary - not Joseph. My own father, a preacher, when he was in his sixties told a young congregant of 27 that God had told him that they should marry - and she fell for it!

That sounds more like cult members than "religious" persons. Th epeoel shown in the videos are not from normal mainstream families.

I agree that they should make laws to better protect children. However, in the U.S., traditionally family laws is governed by individual states and can vary widely from one state to another. There have been attempts to make national laws to better protect young persons, but the religious right always manages to stop the federal government from making national "family laws".

The net result is that we have antiquated "family laws" in some sates which date back more than a century and do not reflect modern societal values.
