Everything is simple but not easy.

All the problems of the world are caused by petulant children with no boundaries.

Don't believe me? Stay tuned.

Lets say little Johnny likes to bite and hit his playmates.

Dad says, "let nature take it's course they will develop ways to cope and establish a pecking order"

Mom says, "No no Johnny we don't hit our friends. Here is a cookie and a hug"

Don't tell me you haven't seen this exact scenario at least a hundred times.

Bullies are coddled by the Establishment because they are difficult to catch and deal with after the deed is done.

Victims of bullies are punished severely for fighting back and retaliating, often times worse than the original aggressor. Sound familiar?

On the flip side, mom and dad go bonkers on their children's bad behavior, and beat the living shit out of them whenever they express a behavior that they disapprove of.

This teaches the children that physical violence is a valid means of behavioral modification. I'm sure you've seen that on the six o'clock news.


What happens to these kids when they grow up? If it's a well to do family in Saudi Arabia I bet you know what could happen to a rich coddled bully.

If it's Dallas, Texas I bet you can figure out what happens to a kid that gets inconsistent and contradictory punishment and reinforcement from their parents.

Saddam was brought up in violent gangs where killing and torture were regarded as legitimate life skills. He passed the same values on to his own kids.

Osama was raised in privilege but never taught to play nice in the sandbox.

Hitler never had a daddy to grab him up by the shirt collar and tell him not to be a hater.

Clinton didn't have a parent with the sense to tell him to keep his dick in his pants or to reward and encourage self control.

See a pattern?

Think back to those people you knew with strong family units. Remember mothers and fathers that took the time to guide their kids down the right path? Then think about those who didn't.

I'm not one to forgive someone for their ill deeds just because they didn't have a daddy or consistent discipline. People can break out of a cycle if they really want to.

We just need to look at our children carefully and make hard choices when it comes to reward, punishment and establishing a sound moral framework.
