<<Thanks. Fascinating read, though I don't think we should be held accountable for much of what we did during our school years.>> I think what we did in our schools years will correlate greatly with what we do later in life. Mean kids usually become mean adults. Dishonest kids usually become dishonest adults. I was never mean as a kid in school or as an adult. No one every had to worry about me. I work in a job that is filled with insensitive people, and by and large, I think people's basic humanity is set by high school.

I don't think we should be held accountable for much of what we did during our school years. John, a couple of things. First, holding someone down to cut their hair is not an impulsive act. He planned it and acted on it. Most of us in high school were guilty of impulse control deficits but that's a little different from what he did. Second, and more importantly, having done such a thing how can he now say that he doesn't recall it? If anyone had done what 5 sources said he did and hadn't had it lodge in their conscience like a rock in their shoe then they've got an empathy problem. And this is from guy who has a few rocks in his shoes. Ed
