Ken,

        I think a reply post on the "Witch"  list answers this the best.

"Bravo Trisha!  Well spoken!  I am not a parent but I am in a position (as
are we all) to advocate for the children in my life.  It is so true that we
are all responsible for them.  Thank you for your passion and intelligence.

Blessings, Galora OceanDancer    (who is working on school/final exams
herself right now...)"

            They are all our children - not just the ones you give birth,
too. And we all responsible - not just the parents. Please don't let - the
love and responsibilty for your fellow humann beings stop at the Church door
as empty words. Live your beliefs.

                                        Brightest Blessings
                                                  Trisha
