That's a fair point, but why now? People have always vanished, run away, and been kidnapped. Why does it get breaking news status on everyb 24 hr. network, and WHY does that thick headed boob Sean Hannity highlight it on every episode of his show?

I just fear this becoming a political thing. See I think this can become a polarizing issue. I have a great deal of faith in the partisans with microphones. Will this be a Willie Horton type of issue? Will each party have to take a "position" on where they stand on people being absolutely safe, 24/7, in their gated little communities....?

I prefered the sharks.
