So...help me out here

USA Swimming announces steps to protect athletes | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment
USA Swimming is taking steps to protect its more than 300,000 members after being rocked by numerous allegations of sexual abuse by coaches.



I see. Let me take this to it's hyperbolic limit. Where are the stories of people who have given up swimming now that they see the corruption and abuse that went on for years while USA Swimming sat idly by...nay...knew about the problem and did nothing?

Where are the calls for criminal investigations? For Federal racketeering investigations? Threats of arrest to the head of USA Swimming? How has this violated trust not shaken America's faith love of aquatic activities? Where are the letters to the editor conflating the love of swimming with the tacit, if not active, endorsement of such abuse?

Won't someone think of the children?

Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
