Do you have a keen memory? If so, you may remember the hysteria that swept the nation following allegations of bizarre allegations of child sex abuse in day care centers. The Washington Post recounted:

"Allegations of child sexual abuse in day-care centers swept the nation, with high-profile cases in California, North Carolina, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Minnesota and other states, leading to empty playgrounds, hyper-vigilant parents and the implication that behind every tree lurked a pedophile waiting to snatch our children."

It was all a hoax. But dozens of day care workers and parents were swept up, many eventually convicted of horrendous crimes. Some have been exonerated and are now trying to restore a modicum of normalcy to their lives.

The basis of the hysteria was three words: "Believe the children."

Thirty years later, the wording has been slightly changed: "Start By Believing." But the idea is the same -- don't worry about the presumption of innocence or cold, hard evidence, because "victims" don't lie.

We're now closing in on 1,600 signers. Woo-Hoo!
