JLA--- This was our exchange: Apr 21 1999 8:31AM Reply # of 46912 I can't agree with your thumbnail characterization of the voting populace. Greed seems to be the gravamen. JLA Apr 21 1999 8:40AM Reply # of 46912 Most people live paycheck to paycheck. Greed is much too harsh a term for their anxiety... Apr 21 1999 8:59AM Reply # of 46912 Living paycheck to paycheck is all about choices Neocon. Like all things. Greed and self gratification. That's about it. JLA Apr 21 1999 9:04AM Reply # of 46912 Do not underestimate the trials of ordinary life.People who are merely greedy and self- gratifying rarely raise families, because building a home takes a certain degree of discipline. Apr 21 1999 9:16AM Reply # of 46912 Oh, I don't know about that. Over the last few years as my practice has expanded and I've been able to delegate some responsibility to associates, I've become more active in my son's and daughter's extracurricular activities such as sports, art classes, dance, gymnastics, etc. (My son is quite artistic and my daughter is a natural athelete.) It never ceases to amaze me the number of parents who merely drop the kids off and leave. You learn a lot about your kids by observing them in those types of endeavors. That is a big part of what raising a family is all about. Taking an interest in your kids insures that they grow up to be happy and well adjusted. They want more than a taxi service. You can't buy respect and genuine love and its not the basis for a sound relationship. JLA Apr 21 1999 9:27AM Reply # of 46912 You are correct, there are varying levels of involvement, and sometimes the comparative lack is appalling, but I still think that most people feel the weight of responsibility, and behave fairly appropriately...
