The old parental injunction...."Do what I say, don't do what I do." I remember an extract from Hippocrates (or Socrates or some form of Crates) complaining that the children of the generation don't listen..and more words to that effect. Each generation of parents seems to feel that it, and it alone, stands at the crux of change. And that's common to every generation. Ohwhatarelief, I am out of this which-school business! (and business it is, most times.) Deepa.
