The story of the ultra-liberal Dutch has yet to be told. In the aftermath of the Natalee Holloway tragedy, the Arubans (governed by Dutch law) whose 100,000 population is crammed into a space smaller than Manhattan, love to say their tiny island has had only one murder so far this year and that crime is rare.

Crime is rare b/c nothing is a crime according to the notoriously ultra-liberal Dutch. In Aruba the legal drinking age is an astounding 16 years---a high school junior can drink all he/she wants on Aruba.

Seventeen-year old suspect Joran van der Sloot----chief suspect in Natalee's disappearance-----at age seventeen had a credit line at every casino on Aruba. Joran was prowling casinos and bars, targeting young tourists---armed with condoms and perhaps date rape drugs to assure a score---is also indicative of liberal Dutch permissiveness.

In the Netherlands, life is cheap. Prostitution is considered no big deal as is their penchant for euthanasia on demand, pedophilia.

The Dutch recently legalized infanticide.

The violent and sex-saturated Grand Theft Auto video game aimed at kids who are buying it in huge numbers, was also produced in Holland. Aruba is also notorious as a stopping-off point for drug cartels.

Natalee Holloway's parents sent her to a place under the erroneous impression that values they prized predominated on Aruba. How wrong they were.

What with its liberal Rube Goldberg justice system, a population with apparently no compunction about lying straight into the TV cameras, Aruba is the personification of Liberal Lies and Deceit Unlimited.

"In Aruba the legal drinking age is an astounding 16 years---a high school junior can drink all he/she wants on Aruba."

Well now, that's actually the drinking age in several countries. I lived in Germany for several years and that was the drinking age there then, but it wasn't enforced. A lot of countries have a different take on drinking than we do. And we didn't always have a drinking age in this country. It used to be that parents were responsible for deciding whther their children could drink alcohol. The government didn't have anything to do with it. I don't think there is anything "astounding" about a legal drinking age of 16.
