Hey, I don't know about you, but my family has had a father, a mother and
children since they first got here in the 1600's.  For that matter, the idea
of a traditional family goes as far back as you like.  A family consisting of
one, unmarried parent who decides to adopt (or just get pregnant, in the case
of women), or same sex couples who decide to follow the same route, or fathers
who do just that - father - and then boogy, has never been accepted as the
normal, majority family.

I agree, someone with your ..... nah, forget it.

We're talking here about women who complain that their advancement is hampered
by not being able to serve in combat units.  If they "chose" to join a unit
that is involved in combat, then they shouldn't have the right to "chose" when
they actually see combat.  You chose the unit, you accept the job.
 
>1) does the post office serve POORLY?

Wow, even a broken clock is right twice a day.  I do agree the Postal 
Service is doing a great job.  (Of course, I'm biased - I work there!)

>2) does the public school (in and of themselves) do a poor job, or
>is what they have to work with poor material?

The school system has always worked with "poor" material.  The problem here
is that parents either don't have input, or don't use it.

        procecute presidents Reagan and Bush for thier part in Iran-Contra.

>Did they break laws?  If so, why should they be immune from procecution.

You mean to say if you break a law, you should be punished?  Wow, what a
radical idea.  Does this also apply to Alan Cranston, Jim Wright, Tony Cuello,
Max Savage, and all the other liberal Dems whose party has given them a free
ride?

Nope, when it moved into the city, it was "un-built".  And the fact that
it hasn't been "rebuilt" is the problem.  The American Family has not been
destroyed, there's just too many parents who don't take the responsibility of
being a parent seriously, and too many people like yourself who add to the
problem.

In the case of rebuilding what a family should be - YOU BET!  Take responsibily
for what you do.  Teach responsibility to your kids.  Sure, family values are
under assault - look, we just elected a prez who doesn't take his marriage
vows seriously.  I'm watching 60 Minutes right now, and there's a jerk from
ACTUP on blaming everyone but himself for his AIDS.  Parents who never go
to a parent-teacher conference or a PTA meeting or a school board meeting
whine about the schools.  The big word here is RESPONSIBILITY.
