Perhaps. . .but if you - as a parent - sit back and say "boys will be boys" - what about what happens next. . .

What pisses me off is that we as a society are in literally a no-win situation. . .Kleibold and Harris's parents no doubt thought the same thing "boys will be boys" - and look at what happened. . .but had they intervened (rightfully see we now see) - they would have been overbearing parents, neo-conservative tradionalists completely out of touch and step with youth, and totally overreacting. . .

We cant win. People whine about "Big Brother" and the "Orwellian" threat of "Bush Inc." - but what the hell is the alternative? I see an endless line of folks waiting to critique, but NOONE willing to step up and offer a solution.
