Oh grow up! This is a favourite emotional argument for kids age 13 who are learning to imitate their parents. It is quite effective usually starting a fight which echoes poorly the perceptions children have of what it means to be a responsible "free" adult living and working in the community. Unfortunately some adults never get beyond this emotional argument, and never fully understand what it means to grow up, think about things and pursue personal happiness and social liberty. Lee Rogers, unfortunately, can muster only this emotional argument to protect herself from the sneaking suspicion that maybe she never did. Juris Ahn, Sausalito, CA - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Stevens
