I hardly need to tell you that none of this is more important than freedom. [/QUOTE]
In my opinion a 15 year old terrorist (and most western world teens too) need a good deal less freedom and quite a bit more supervised time. All in all I have to say we disagree on this point.
When you start confusing the issue of freedom for adults and freedom for children and comparing them to Soviet Russia...you have made a serious error in judgment, in my opinion. Children are supposed to be un-free. They are supposed to be under the thumb of their parents and for their parents to dictate the actions of said child. I do not agree that children need freedom above all else...I think they need structure and supervision by adults.
I know that will probably sit badly with most of the children here on IW, but it is never the less a truth. I think the current state of todays youth in general speaks volumes to this. Yes the good kids still out number the bad, but as things have become more and more liberal, more and more permissive...more and more kids have had their lives ruined. Discipline, structure, stability (ie parents that are there for them) and safety. These kids in Gitmo get most of that. Too bad their parents didn't raise the better...or have a better philosophical outlook on the moral rights and wrongs of blowing other people the F**K Up.
