His kids are like the kids in "The Sound of Music" - always polite and
respectful to their father, like little military cadets. They never
talk back, they never lie, they never say they're going one place and
really go another... And they never need parental monitoring to keep
them from making poor decisions.

Must be nice.


Well, they do have a good mother, as I chose her very carefully. On a side
note, there was a civil lawsuit in the news recently where a jury awarded
tons of money to a mail-order bride who married a wife-beater. The
judgement was against the dating service that introduced the couple. Most
people seem to think this is OK, as the dating service should have known
that the never-previously-married man was a wife beater. Me, I think if you
are stupid enough to marry someone whom you DON'T KNOW very well, then
that's your own damned fault if it turns out to have been the wrong
decision. Choosing someone to marry (or even whether to marry at all) is
the single biggest decision you will ever make in your life. Choose
sely. -Dave
