It's time to look at what we have changed. The passed laws we had need to be replaced.

When I was growing up, the law was anyone killing a policeman or kidnap was put to death. We need these laws back to protect us all.
Also rape and murder need to be the same. I am not talking about self-defense. No one needs to stand and let anyone hurt them.

Love, honor, respect need to be placed in our lives.

We cannot change our lives to honor the people moving to the States from other countries to rule here. They must live by our rules in this country. They cannot do as they would in the places they lived. English must be taught so we can understand each other. If they are going to be an American, they must do as our families in the past had to do. Stand up and be the American you want to be.

I love my children but, as I was raised, if you cause death on another just to kill I would turn in my own if they done wrong. If you know your child did some thing, turn them in. If you don't, you should suffer the same fate as the person who did the crime.

And it's time to put the C.C. camps back to work. They can grow food, clear land, and make things for the poor. Anything that helps for their keep.

I know this sounds harsh but it needs to be done. Prison is not helping in some cases.

The rapist should, as I stated before, have an operation on the brain. It doesn't change anything in their life; they just don't want any kind of sex.

And as far as gangs, we didn't put up with them before; why now are we becoming weak in our choice of life. America has always been strong; please get us back as we were.

And put back the curfew to 10 p.m. for kids under 18 to be off the street. We had to be home or the police brought you home. A one-time warning was given that they would put you in reform school if you broke the law.

Yes, I was taken home once, and my folks told me they didn't want that to happen again. That's respect for your folks. So tell me where did caring, respect, love, help feelings go?

Please give us back our ways as the Americans that we once were. Don't be weak rule. And may God bless the policemen that give their lives for us. Stop the madness, please. If jailed, all rights should be taken away.
