Permit me my own parting comments: because a claim is unenforceable does not make it invalid I thought that you and I had gotten past this claim stuff. If Solon doesn't buy into our view of what society should be like and make a commitment to the accompanying set of moral rules, you have no claim on him. A child has a claim against it's parents by law. That's different. Karen

You obviously think that reasonable demands can be made upon a child who is your legal care and property. I agree, as I have in previous posts. My parting comments would be to correct your usage of "militate upon" from this post: Message 15432247 Militate is always and only used with "against", and that is the only appropriate usage. This is not clear from the dictionary, and to prove it to you would squander a lot of my time. I state it as an act of kindness and benevolence, and (I hope) mutual regard. I sincerely hope you will feel free to do the same for me (no typo corrections, please!)
