talk radio

i really like listening to talk radio. today AFR had an interesting topic involving how liberal we are letting laws get in the US. a part of their point was in saying that we as a nation over time said it was ok for girls/women to have abortions and its ok for teenage boys to get as many condoms as they want from school health clinics without parental notice. so i was thinking it sounds like we are letting our teenagers play in the street. yep thats the analogy that came into my head while driving to pick up Janna. They are just playing, like a toddler would play in the street not completely understanding the repercussions of their actions. We are letting our children play on a very dangerous street where the cars are driving at speeds these teens can't grasp and they don't make exceptions as to whom they hit.

    this message coming from the person that i would consider to be one of the BEST young parents i have ever met. i would not be worried about your sweet little daughter too much. i think she has quite a good influence in her life to know not to play in the street.

    but it doesnt say much for the rest of the world.

    some people say that our generation is going to see how "bad" kids are right now and we are going to rear our kids different. well, i have seen our generation with kids and it isnt happening yet.

    i just hope that i can be a good parent like you and justin are.
