Parents act like big buddies instead of examples of grownups. Media blows up the 0.007% that children will be kidnapped by a stranger. Government will feed, clothe, house and give you money for "recreation". What sort of parent can be effective with the nanny state as pervasive as it is becoming? <br />Simply, a lazy one. An Obama voter or yuppie.<br />No backbone, no pride. No pride, no earned self-esteem. No earned self-esteem, no enjoyment of life. No enjoyment of life - then why should anyone else enjoy THEIR life? If their life is hard, the government should fix it, at no cost to them.<br /><br />Glad I'm old....The Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854776544931267722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-22869600128851858002012-03-01T18:36:53.361-06:002012-03-01T18:36:53.361-06:00Exactly!
