The answer and some , maybe, hopeful news on the flip..
Yesterday, I wrote about the push for Evangelicals and Focus on the Family allies to become more proactive about adoptions and foster care. I mentioned some lingering problems and doubts about how that will work out. I ended with an outrageous, but true, quotation. Simplistically summaried both sides , the states and the Evangelicals , have fears about all this:
link "Sharen Ford, a Colorado Division of Child Welfare Services manager, said some county workers initially presumed "church people beat their kids" or protested the initiative was exclusively Christian. Families, meanwhile, worried they couldn't take children to church or discipline them at all.

After a daily drumbeat of negative publicity from radio personality Don Imus that lasted for weeks, a Texas congressman has worked out a compromise on a $945 million bill to fight autism.
What is hard to forgive or forget is that it took enormous amounts of pressure to get this guy to do the right thing. But I guess when the choices are help children or protect your corporate masters, for Joe the choice is obvious and easy.
