Concerning sexual abuse by clergy, why pounce on them only? There are many other men out there having sex, flooding society with many unwed mothers.

How come these men are not contributing to the support of their kids? Why penalize clergy and nobody else? I find this to be discrimination.

Jail time is not the answer. We taxpayers are left to support those doing time plus families on welfare due to the indiscretions of inmates.

Prison farms should be established where criminals would raise their own meat and vegetables, supporting the inmates and those they victimized, plus families left behind to fend for themselves. I bet this would be the best deterrent to crime, thus teaching them responsibility for their actions.

It would save us taxpayers thousands of dollars. We the people are treated more like criminals than those behind bars. We are always left to pick up the pieces while inmates often repeat offenses for they find jail to be home, away from wife, kids and responsibilities of life.
