Your guest mentioned that polar bears have been added to the endangered species list...
Last I heard Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne proposed listing polar bears as a ''threatened''...Adding them would require scientific review and a final decision would take a year..

Dear Mr Marens: I was the tearful caller "Annabelle" on your show 2/5/07 regarding child domestic abuse. Again I am sorry that my voice was breaking but I was overcome with emotion and then embarrassed.
What I really wanted to say was that the man who tried to get me in his car most certainly had a family, parents perhaps a wife. Why do not families of perverts and molesters turn in their own? I wanted your guest to address this in addition to helping identify children that are being molested or victims to other cruelties.
