BUT FIRST...

BUT FIRST...first begins to manifest itself in the very young.

You will often hear them utter the words ... Yeah, But...

This is especially noticed in small children when confronted with an obvious wrong-doing.

It reaches epidemic proportions during the teenage years. If not corrected early with acceptance of ones responsibilities, the child and teenager will grow into whinning liberal adults or worse yet, a politician.

Good 'un, Dave, reminds me of something I saw yesterday while leaving post.
On the signboard outside the Main Post Chapel the Post Chaplain had put up his message for the week. It read:

"It's easier to raise strong children
Than it is to fix broken men."
