Well Murray, being the "tender age" of 37, I would have had to start younger to have a kid above the age of majority. But that said, I can sympathize with his parents given some kin I have who are "black sheep", possessing the attitude that the "world owes them a living", and who have rebelled against obeying the law. I'll send you a PM, as I don't wish to discuss it publicly. Suffice it to say that I sympathize for his parents. No parent wishes to acknowledge that their own flesh and blook ever intentionally chooses to follow an evil course. But every person who has ever perpetrated evil against other innocents has been born of parents who instinctively defend their children as "misguided". I can only imagine how Hitler's parents would have felt, and what they would have said in their son's defense. Or we can think of Timothy McVeigh's parents, who also initially found it hard to believe he was guilty of the heinous crime he was accused of committing. The same can be said for murderers, rapists, and many other evil individuals. Each of them have parents who can't help but love them and wonder where they "went wrong". They will blame everyone, but their child, for the choices they have made in their lives. But in the end, we're all responsible for the decisions we make in our lives, and the impact they have on the lives of others. Hawk
