If you've read any of my posts on the topic, I don't let the women off, either. I'm opposed to irresponsible parenting. Right now, there are more irresponsible dads. We know this because their sons and daughters fill the halls of detention, alternate campuses, juvenile facilities, and prisons.

David, I know what you've been advocating, but I submit one thing you are doing is looking in the wrong direction for the solution.

Full halls of detention do NOT demostrate where the responsibility lies.

Ask yourself this question: Could you rationally hold parents responsible for the actions of their children if every time they tried to exercise any kind of parental authority over those children a government representative stepped in and preempted that exercise?
