although police did urge the father to make his car keys more inaccessible to children.

Grammar nazi's and newshounds unite!

Should this sentence not read as follows:

Um, that would have worked better without the greengrocer's apostrophe in "Nazis."

Just sayin'.

As much of a joke as The Osmond Brothers were, I've all-ways found that song to be rather "catchy" if only for the bass riff.

And, Scotty, either "More inaccessible" or "Less accessible" is appropriate.

I suppose he ought to be thankful that he isn't one of those boys driven off of Mormon land because he'd be in competition for younger brides.

BTW, if you finally realize the religion you've been raised in is nothing more than a cult, what can you do but attempt escape, if you have half a brain? It's the ones who stay and submit who may trouble me, but it is those who are ejected who I truly care for. In fundamentalist communities, there are so many, and it's not like the rumspringa of the Amish. You don't get accepted back.
