No Mr. Right, I am neither a criminal, nor a criminal "wannabee". Actually, I voted McCain, and I consider myself to be about as far to the right as Joe McCarthy, However, what I am not, is someone who likes to see the rules change in the middle of the game. The whole point to my diatribe on this issue is that the State of Missouri already got their bite of the apple against these sex offenders. They are, or should be, square with the house, but no,the house has changed the rules. Yes, there are some offenders who are a real danger to children, granted, but there are also other ex-convicts out there who could be a real danger to a whole lot of other people. I don't see any great rush to register paroled murderers, and my boss tells me there are over 85 of those in the Springfield Metro area.
What that means to me is that the set of rules I, and you supposedly, live by is subject to capricious change. You are happy with the change because it suits you, but what if it did not. What if it added some onerous new humiliating restriction to your lifestyle.
My fear is that if the government is allowed to change the rules for these people, these sex offenders, what will stop them from changing the rules as they apply to you and me. When you call me "anti-police" it makes me chuckle. If you knew me, or what my career is, you would probably rethink that.
I'm sorry you feel it necessary to attack me personally because we have differing opinions. Perhaps we should just agree to disagree and be gentlemen about it.
