I don't live too far from this town and it is really a gorgeous place (irrelevant, I know)....it is the "setting" for the book and movie A Perfect Storm. It definitely has been hit hard because of fishing regulations (it is traditionally a "fisherman's" town) and general economic stuff.
It's pretty shocking and sad. I actually "hate" the coverage because all I can imagine is how any kid born of the "pact" will feel some day.
I am an extremely liberal person...a proud card-carrying member of the ACLU, but, having worked with kids, and having seen "cycles" of teen pg and poverty, I honestly wish there were some kind of "vaccination" against pg (my ACLU membership will probably explode right now!) for kids.
