Why?

I could name you at least 3 children who were abused 35 years or so ago and it was never reported. As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, I believe that is more like 6 or 7. And that is just people close to my own age and within my circle of acquaintances.

How many millions more were there that neither you nor I have any way of knowing about?

There are no reliable statistics for that time because many, many cases were never reported. You might as well try to compare the number of donuts consumed in the U.S. to the number of starfish in the ocean. Your statistics would be just as reliable.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
