After reading the excerpt from Barack Obama's new book, The Audacity of Hope, I've reconsidered my concern about his lack of experience [Oct. 23]. I'm inclined to vote for a smart, effective communicator and consensus builder who may have little experience but is pragmatic and inclusionary like him rather than someone who has experience but is absolutist and exclusionary.

The problem is proportion. Strangers make up 7% of child molesters; the vast majority are family members. But you wouldn't know it from watching TV. When stranger predators are everywhere...
