What a perfect example of a horrible mentality.  "I can't trust you
to be good, so I'll force you to be good."  You won't build any
moral sense with that kind of attitude.

because of the help I've gotten from others who've done the same.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
