Hey Betsy,
Out where we live - maybe everywhere, I don't know
- far too many people DO think that they should be an exception - to college
admission requirements, to curfews, to stopping at stop signs:). Unfortunately,
youth and children especially learn what they see. Asking why somethign is the
way it is is fine - demanding that it be ahcnged to suit one's own opinions -
that is something else. I am reminded of the youth a few doors down who thinks
it A-ok to pound on his drums at all hours and at times for several hours at
atime. While I admire his stamina, I cannot believe how selfish that is.
He thinks apparently that the rules of courtesy and even local noise abatement
laws don't apply to him for some reason.
