It's all to further their own agenda. Anything or anybody that can cause fear will work to get attention - and votes. If it wasn't sex offenders, it would be something or somebody else. Sex offenders are the current witch hunt. <br /><br />Through the years it's been everything from hunting witches in Salem to Sen McCarthy's hunt for Communists, and black listed actors who were thought to be Communists. The fear mongering never ends. The Boogeyman is out there waiting for a new face and a new name. <br /><br />We have become a nation of "sheeple". The media has to give us our opinions. We've become so engrossed in mass hysteria over something for which we have no actual facts that we can't think or act for ourselves. And the dumbing down of American continues.

No wonder Halloween and everything else involving kids just trying to have fun (yes, everything!), has just been ruined by this obsession with sex offenders.<br /><br />So it's not enough they were being told they have to worry about non-existent razor blades--the first thing they hear now is they are going to be raped by a guy giving them candy.<br /><br />Wow! Can't wait to get my costume so I can go get murdered!<br /><br />Talk about the bloom off the rose.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-56114365653297414472013-11-01T07:46:58.290-05:002013-11-01T07:46:58.290-05:00Any data to back that up at all, charles?
