I’m sure some of you have heard news stories that some parents are using the Nebraska “safe haven” laws to dump children, some as old as 11 years, that they can’t control and don’t want anymore. It’s interesting to me to see that some of the people criticizing the Nebraska law are adult adoptees.
I don’t usually get this personal on my blog, but I think this issue is important.
Delegates in Maryland’s legislature are making an irresponsible decision. They’re putting national security ahead of individual privacy, expanding the government’s eavesdropping powers. The comments of one lawmaker, Del. Dana Lee Dembrow, are particularly irresponsible. She said, "I realize that this bill basically says you can tap someone’s phone for jaywalking, and normally I would say, ‘No way.’ But after what happened on September 11th, I say screw ‘em."
