I doubt it. I've met some in the online community who actually think we shouldn't make public who's arrested on a crime, until they are convicted! Just imagine how tough that would be. Do they deserve it? Good questions, no easy answers.

Sorry I have to do this here, but I just noted that another news source ID'd a 16 year old who committed a crime. This was in regard to a bicycle crime. Why can't KTVZ ID juveniles who commit crimes here? Perhaps holding then up to the community light would help slow the speed of crime by kids? thanks for the time, Rick Hey Barney, first I really like the comments availability on the news site.

She still goes around the house saying "Wallll-E". The save the Earth issue was quite strong, but that didn't bother me. I just felt like it wasn't funny enough, like most Disney movies, and it just seemed to drag. The only time it was cool was when all the "Cuckoos" flew out of the cuckoo's nest. That reminds me, I haven't seen that movie in a long time. ;) Have a wonderful rest of the day! Well, the robots she liked, but overall the movie bored her.

I surely wasn't bored, but I can understand it flying over a 4-year-old's head. I have no clue what a 4-year-old would find interesting these days. But you've got to admit, the 'save the Earth' fable is pretty strong in this one. Well, isn’t that interesting? I surely wasn’t bored, but I can understand it flying over a 4-year-old’s head.

After an hour of the movie our daughter said she didn't like it and wanted to leave. I agreed with her but my husband was to into the movie and wanted to see the end. For a movie that is only 1 hour and 37 minutes, I felt like we were there for 3 hours and couldn't wait to leave. But I am willing to give it another try. Maybe after it comes out on DVD. Oh, and Barney, the mega-conservative comment, ouch! That type of comment can be used for some liberals also. I know liberal people that refuse for their kids to watch The Little Mermaid because it promotes child disobedience. It's a movie for goodness sake.
