20. No, you DON'T have a "right" to keep your kids safe

You, as a parent, have an OBLIGATION, but that does NOT extend to branding other citizens. And I, as someone who has NEVER been charged with ANY sex offensse or ANY OTHER CRIME, but live with an offender, bitterly- BITTERLY!!!- resent you telling ME *MY* car can be surveilled upon, MY movements can be tracked, and so on.
YOU MADE A LIFESTYLE CHOICE. You should get NO special treatment AT ALL for that choice.
YOU keep your kids safe, and YOU do it WITHOUT the public's help, because YOU made a *lifestyle choice*.
If you don't like that attitude, tough. I'm done being nice. I want nothing to do with your kids, because I'll assume- based upon my husband's experiences- that they'll LIE to get him, or anyone they don't like, put away.
Like I said, if you don't like that attitude, TOUGH. *YOU* made a *lifestyle choice* to have kids, and I shouldn't be under ANY obligation to keep them 'safe'. As a parent, that's YOUR job.
Sorry to sound so angry, but I'm getting GODDAMN ####ING TIRED ofhaving MY life intruded upon because SOME parents don't have the acumen to do what's necessary- IN THEIR OWN BLOODY ####ING HOMES- to keep their kids safe.
YOU AND YOUR KIDS DO NO DESERVE THE RELINQUISHMENT OF MY RIGHTS, NOR DO YOU DESERVE THE RELINQUISHMENT OF RIGHTS BY PERSONS WHO HAVE ALREADY SERVED THEIR TIME.
Not only do you NOT have the "right" to know about sex offenders in your neighborhood, you, as a parent, as someone who has made a *lifestyle choice*, do not DESERVE to know about that. As a gay man, I feel EXTREMELY comfortable in making that statement.
Talk about "special rights"!!!! You even get time off when they're born, and *I* have to make up the work on the job! And I don't get paid more when I have to do so!!
You made a *lifestyle choice*. YOU take the risk- not me.
