It's a personal attack to inquire whether you have children? Or to observe that your line of argumentation is feeble? I suppose it's understandable for you to believe those things if you think the situation being analyzed here is equivalent to Jonestown.
Good luck with the kids. It's been my experience that there is no greater gift a parent can give his children than that of emotional maturity. It enables even poor kids to become transcendent and succeed in life, even when a bad hand has been dealt them. My wife and I raised three successfully, and I'm proud to say that not only do they defy authority when the occasion calls for it, but they have the wisdom and maturity to accept the consequences that arise from their actions.
(Rock Hill-AP) May 7, 2005 - An 11-year-old boy was arrested this week for carrying ten nails in his pocket at a Rock Hill middle school and charged with carrying an unlawful weapon.
Dianne McCray, assistant principal at Rawlinson Road Middle School, asked the child Wednesday what was jingling in his pocket and the student gave her the 3.5" long nails.
A school resource officer arrested him. His father picked him up and he was not taken to the police station.
The father said the nails were left in his pocket after a Boy Scout outing. He says it is ridiculous that his son faces an unlawful weapon charge. He says the boy threatened no one.
Which is precisely what this kid did as the occasion clearly called for it.
but they have the wisdom and maturity to accept the consequences that arise from their actions.
And this kid did as well. He served his suspension time did he not?
