Many of our children suffer from way too much of the good life.<BR/><BR/>But as we see more and more of this, these young men and women may grow up faster than a speeding bullet.<BR/><BR/>Let's hope so. Too much of the good life only makes us weak and long on words and short on action.Webutantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02909008993551106296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35527023.post-18970146111007126562007-04-20T16:32:00.000-05:002007-04-20T16:32:00.000-05:00So glad you posted this.

Did none of the young adults in the classrooms have the desire to fight for life?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436764764797493783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35527023.post-28741218959686597072007-04-20T10:46:00.000-05:002007-04-20T10:46:00.000-05:00It bothers me that these students are being referr...It bothers me that these students are being referred to as children They are the same age as many of the soldiers fighting in Iraq as we speak. We must teach our kids personal responsibility in protecting themselves.As the article says, use common sense.Rita Locahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09961929692808138092noreply@blogger.com
