that it's refreshing to hear about the good things some of them do. Here's an example:

A 14-year-old Miamisburg girl is being commended by Miami Twp. police for her quick thinking and bravery in helping a group of residents make a citizens arrest.

Morgan Ruppert spotted a purse snatch suspect running in her direction, being chased by a group of residents, when she instinctively ran toward him. She reached out and grabbed at the purse strings of the stolen purse, and gave the running man a hefty kick in the shins.

It caused him to trip, and he fell to the ground, where the men chasing him pinned him down and held him until police arrived.

On this subject, I was watching a program on the Discovery Wings channel recently about the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman as it deployed to Iraq. The senior NCO on board, a Command Master Chief, made the comment, "The average age of the people working on the flight deck is about 19. You can't tell me there's anything wrong with the youth of America."

At least some of them.
