Nice try.
But this is not just any type of behaviour that his father might disapprove of. It is the very basis of his fathers life long protest however immaturely and his son is teaching him a lesson about responsibility and protest.
Hopefully his father is able to grow up and see that his life has been misused except for raising this great son.
You may not agree with him but his entire life has been spent standing up for what he believes in the face of pressure. He has never compromised his principles. If only there was one person in Washington we could say that about.
