1. No if ands or buts

   Parents who need a drink so badly that they would bring their precious babies into a bar to imbibe should seriously consider rehab.

2. Personal Responsibility

   I have been in situations in which I have tried to enlist police help and was sorely disappointed. If the cop is not in the mood to do anything he will not. My son had a bike stolen right out from under him once and I called the police and not much happened. Even when I hunted down the thief myself and called the officer in charge of the case, nothing happened. No charges were brought, the bike was not returned and, not surprising, every time I tried to approached the kids parents no one was home. He got away with it even though I did what people seem to be terming "the responsible thing". This is not the first time that I have been disappointed with the degree in which police officers were willing to commit themselves to crimes that me or my family have been victims of. Of course, I don't drive a Lexus, but I don't know anyone who does. My responsibility lies with my family. If I can solve a problem peacefully why drag a disinclined badge with a bad attitude into it.

Define what responsibility means to you.
