I think you've misread the meaning in Leo's comment. I know Leo, and I
know he didn't mean that parents can just shirk their responsibility and
leave it to the community.  But we 'all', as a village, are responsible
to live our lives to be examples for the children around us, whether
they are ours or not.

And I for one applaude his stand on considering who, and what kind of
act, he puts on his stage at a family festival.  IMHO, there's a time a
place for everything.  If I go to see someone in a bar I might expect,
and even accept, potty mouth (hey, I've been known to get a little crude
myself from time to time),  but I don't expect to hear it from the stage
of a family festival.

And that's all I have to say about that.
