Just heard on the news they pulled another "round-up of dead beat
parents"
here in Tucson. They named it "Operation Child-support". Channel 4
news
reported all the standard "politically correct" bull**** and used the
term
"dead beat parents". I guess that's more 'correct' than dead beat dads
but
no matter what, the reality is that out of the 21 people still sitting
in
jail as of this evening, (the "round-up" was at 5am), there is *one*
woman.
The token woman.
I'm writing an e-mail to Channel 4 (www.kvoa.com) , hoping to enlighten
them
a little as to the reality of dead-broke dads. I can't find the story
on
their website yet. They just aired it so maybe it's not on it yet.
With all the talented writers and ranters we have here I'm hoping we can
all
send them a bit of enlightening e-mail. Who knows? Maybe somebody will
be
listening?

I'll bet you a beer (of your choice) that better than 90% of these men
where
destitute, down-on-their-luck, unemployed, fathers.
---------------------------
Heinekin Dark thankyouverymuch. Of course 90% of these men were destitute.
All the ones who are earning any kind of money are already having their
income garnished.
-------------------------
It would be better to help these men (and the single woman their 'snared')
to find employment, then to jail them for failure to support their
children.
-----------------------
And with the bonds set for some of the guys, unless they have very good
friends or family to loan them the money, they are going to be sitting there
for a long time.
------------------------
I predict, that soon, there will be no one to use as a scapegoat any
longer.
That very soon, there will be no one to point a finger at, save for the
very
agencies (federal, state, and local) which create such problems to
'solve'.
-------------------
As long as men and women keep getting together there will always be a
scapegoat, (unless the laws change). I'm just angry that the media just
reports what the pro-cs people want them to and there's not anyone looking
at the other side.
