[Ansteorra] Fw: [Burkhaven] bad stuff here in the east

[Daralynn Brittain]

I apologize for any bad implications.  No being single does not make you an 
evil man, it was wrong of me to paint all single men with the same brush.

Unfortunately, many bad apples have made us parents more suspicious, and it 
should not be based on whether you are married or not.

In my humble opinion, parents should know where and who their children are 
with.  And really know them. Not just assume that since they are part of an 
international organization that they are ok.  And that goes for Boy Scouts, 
Girl Scouts, our society, well anywhere.  Parents have a responsibility to 
take care of their children and they need to take it seriously.

I am grateful that I live in a Kingdom that takes our children's safety 
seriously.

Once again, I apologize for the broad generalization.
