Chris, Japan has a society wherein people are looked down upon for stepping outside the "prescribed set of guidelines". What they have found is that the lack of creativity has stifled their economy and imaginations, not to mention a higher level of stress in everyday life as people struggle to conform. weather we want to be or not, we all are individuals. We come complete with different intellects, personalities, and genetic make-ups. We can't help but be individuals, and to do anything else is to against the way that God has made us. If you think children are too young to dress for themselves, what can they possibly be old enough for? Any psychiatrist will tell you that self expression is a vital and important part of growing up and that creativity is one of the greatest stress reducers known to man. Mark

Chris, its very interesting to note where the best behaved and learnable kids are. The countries where school is only available to certain class distinctions and intellect have no problems with their kids. It is an honor for them to attend school. Most of our brats thank they are attending a social club and they also love to dress in gangbanger attire because they think its smart and it is a statement that they are rebelling against societal norms. Its a shame that the kids seem to run the schools. The teachers are afraid to punish them because of the NAACP or civil rights groups pulling them into court. We have a city in my area(Edmond, Ok.) where the civil liberties group made them take a small cross of their city seal off all the vehicles and the water tower. Also they have been trying to make the city seat take down a civil war southern flag. If only our society could make it a right that can be taken away instead of trying to find the little chumps that play hooky and get the parents in trouble. My attitude in these trying times is make it a privilege. If the preening, cocky kids don't like it, they can go to work for the city as a sanitation worker or a street sweeper. Mark is way off the mark as far as I am concerned. He talks like a far left dude.(grin) Regards, brightstar
