Did you really think this was well written? This individual pontificating
about what parents should or shouldn't be doing? This is merely induction by
enumeration. He (jmi) avoids addressing the real question. Yes, we all know
that ethics are in short supply among many parents and children. To simply
point it out does not offer a resolution.
I was raised around several people whose parents I would consider to be of low
moral character. Some of these people grew up to be rock steady, productive
and ethical adults.
If a person is raised by an alcoholic or rapist, or car thief does that mean
that they will also be these things?
It does not follow that a person with bad parents are automatically going to
be bad.
Did his cryptic ante dotes about speeding and checkout lines offer any insight
into using uniforms in schools?
If so, I missed it.
