The point I was trying to make, and obviously unsuccessfully, was that relatives of powerful people rarely suffer the same consequences as commoners do. I didn't express myself properly, I guess, but that pales in comparison to your labeling me as a probable (sp?) despicable parent.

I am sorry that I confused you with the DU types around here, and apologize for my remarks about your parenting.

I disagree with you in your main point, in that the Bush children seem to get more severe punishment than most of their peers would, and this is likely no exception.

Apology accepted.

I will agree that the press never misses an opportunity to trash the Bush kids; especially as compared to Clinton and Gore's kids' it's shameful. But what punishment has been metted (sp?) out to the Bush kids in greater amount than other children in similar circumstances? It's a serious question on my part, because I really don't know that much about the lives of the Bush kids.

As I mentioned in another post; even if the worst case scenario proves true here, millions of young adults (including myself) have been on the wrong track, and have found their way back home, so to speak. It's a parable and a truth as old as time; so however this situation unfolds, I wish her and her family the best.
