br> -- Dan Martin br> Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania /p> p> HOME ON THE PLAINS br> Re: George Neumayr's Big Love on the Prairie : /p> p>Can Texas provide for the total safety for all of these children in foster homes? How about in the public schools, on the school buses, play yards and other venues where children are often attacked by bullies, predators and misinformed "do-gooders?" Fostering these children will not be easy, nor consistent with any specific "childhood ideal." The trauma will continue throughout their lives. Life is difficult and no one can say that the state "village" can provide a better grounding for dealing with those difficulties than can a family. I don't condone polygamy, but neither do I condone forced removal of children from their familiar environment no matter how bizarre we may believe it to be. I will believe that the state cares about "the children" when abortion becomes an extinct public policy, two-parent families are celebrated, and public schools stop sexualizing our grade-schoolers. br> -- Rose Storey /p> p>
