[QUOTE="klmno, post: 40215, member: 3699"] Well, I'm hoping this isn't taken as a debate- I agree there are people in both major parties who know there's a problem. But.... how many people are voting based on what they WANT, not on NEEDS- like our kids' help and futures?? There are people out there- a lot- who will overlook any problem if they think it can keep one more dollar in there pocket or give them one more nicety in their life- even if that nicety costs 3 times as much as solving a bigger problem in our world. So- is public awareness the solution? I'm in Virginia where Cho just massacred at Va Tech- and people now are saying why didn't anyone do anything to help him before? There was help available, they say- how did he slip thru the cracks? Then, they talk about how there's not enough funding, there's not enough regulation, everyone who knew him says they saw something wrong then points the finger at the "other people" in his life, then there are the counselors who get on tv and say "help could have been given to him" then they all sit there and argue over what would have been the appropriate help. This is starting to sound like my life lately- everyone tells me there's been help for my son, why haven't I solved this problem by now. but then, what have all these different counselors told me? Answers to our problems? NO!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
