Dear Annie: I have a problem with my parents, both in their mid- 60s. To put it bluntly, I hate them. I no longer want anything to do with them and would like to send them a letter saying so.

. Does my generation have a role in America's future?" I am sure this question has been asked for many years and that each generation has affected America in both positive and negative ways. However, I feel that my generation will change the future of America in many positive ways. I believe that the twenty-first century is very unique, and that young adults like myself are being challenged to be creative, hard working, and focused.

Then, in her next breath, she will say I deserved everything I got because I was such a horrible child. She is trying to convince me that soon I will be hitting my own child.

This girl is in trouble," Renee Zellweger's character declares in "Case 39," her first horror movie in 16 years. "I can FEEL it. As can we all.

A fine actress with an Academy Award, you'd think she would be far removed from playing a social worker trying to figure out if this creepy kid she's saved from abusive parents was the one who needed saving.
This is in response to an article in the Sun Journal March 10, "Parenting program faces state budget ax. The . It helps abusive parents and teaches them the right way to be parents. Each year it helps out between 150 to 200 families. If the program gets cut, all of the families being helped would go without help regarding parenting.

Sen. Barack Obama will portray himself Thursday night as an agent of change for mainstream America, but his eight-year voting record in the Illinois Senate shows the Democrat was on occasion an agent of isolation who took stands - particularly on anti-crime legislation - that put him to the left of his own party. Mr. Obama was the only member of the state Senate to vote against a bill to prohibit the early release of convicted criminal sexual abusers; was among only four who voted against bills to toughen criminal sentences and to increase penalties for "gangbangers" and dealers of Ecstasy; and voted "present" on a bill making it harder for abusive parents to regain custody of their children, a Washington Times review of Illinois legislative records shows.
