Interesting debate on radio today regarding the Muslim girl in Florida asking not to be sent back to her family in Ohio because she feared for her life. Made me think about this case of the girl sailing and whether the "Government" follows the law or the families wishes. The similarities of the two cases are eerie.

I wonder how many of those people who say that the Government should stop the girl from sailing would also say the girl should be sent back to her family and vice versa....

My feeling is to NOT send the Muslim girl back home but I think the sailing girl should be allowed to go if she (and her family) wishes to risk her own life.
