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.

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.

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'.
