LAW UNNEEDED WHEN MEN ARE RESPONSIBLE

MEN LIKE John Smiley (letter April 23) are the reason laws protecting women from male hatred were enacted. Once men start facing the responsibility of fatherhood and help support their own children, then the government will not need to chase them down. Once men grow up and see that violence is neither moral nor intelligent, we will no longer need these harsh (?) laws.
