My wife insisted on watching "Wife Swap" tonight. One of the families lives in filth. Would you call the cops on a family that did not clean their home, eat raw food, and lived in a self-inflicted environment worse than the most deplorable parts of third-world countries?

By the way, where did those yokels get their information? I'm all for being different, but those people are making serious decisions on what seems to be faulty syllogisms (God created bacteria, we believe in God, therefore all bacteria are good for people).

Your thoughts?

To clarify: these people keep their kids out of school, among many other things. This is screaming child endangerment at the least. Check out ABC to see this, it's worth five minutes of your time.

If children are involved, report them and follow through. Make sure newspapers, and all media sources you can think of are notified that these children are being abused (by the environment they are forced to live in if by nothing else).

If NO children are involved, butt out. They are adults and able to live as they choose. If the place smells, let their neighbors deal with that and the health authorities. You can't start setting too many standards about how you think other people should live.

Those shows are staged. Sorry, but its so.
Just like the famous "God Warrior" woman who flipped out preaching about God on one of those shows around a year ago, she later admitted it was all staged.

I live in New York, and I have seen entire neighborhoods (not mine of course!) where people live that way. That is called freedom. Unless they force you to live that way, its their choice.

Lazy people can and will find as many creative justifications as needed to support their lifestyle.

Not me--my motto is cleanliness is next to godliness!
