Robert Young represents a sort of activism we need to encourage. It would seem Mr. Young is not the sort to torment the gorilla by banging on the bars of the cage. Mr. Young has climbed in to the cage and is wrestling the gorilla. Within the law, there are ways to fight and to show the law for what it is. You can contact Mr. Young through his website at:

This program needs to be copied and improved across America and Mr. Young needs to have our support.

Miami Sex Offenders May Get New Home

Officials to Move Them from Shantytown Under Bridge to Private Housing

(AP) Homeless advocates and county officials intend to move a group of registered sex offenders living under a bridge to private housing this week amid growing criticism - and lawsuits - over the county's ordinance that they must live at least 2,500 feet from places where children gather.

...and now politicians are beginning to have to face the 'unintended' consequences of their actions. One has to wonder... what would it be like if lawmakers actually took just a moment to research the issues they legislate rather than polling the hysteria and taking money from the lobbies to pass insane and useless laws.
