This is why I consider liberals to have won the culture wars. The train has left the station. Examples: (1.) No score kept in kid's sports; the idea that losing is harmful in some way. (2.) Pervasive, unnecessary use of safety equipment especially helmets. (3.) Entitlement mentality: I am owed a house; I am owed a "living wage"; I am owed a job no matter where I choose to work or how or what. (4.) Smoking bans. (5.) Recently read that a county in my state is going to buy 1000 benches at $1200 per because it will incent exercise. i.e., our lifestyle is the government's responsibility. All of these things have grown out of the grade school notion that the teacher will tell you where to go, what to do, when to be there, make sure that you get there, and all you have to do is follow directions. Oh, and if you don't? You'll be mildly punished and then released. Nowadays all grown-ups expect this service as well, but since they no longer have teachers, they want to government to provide it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:240204 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
