We were in England over Easter, and things unfortunately seem to be going in the same direction over there (thank you Tony Blair).

I noticed a story about a 16 year old student who threw a chair at his teacher.

She presumably had the audacity to shout at him.

So his parents are suing the teacher because - wait for it - SHE FRIGHTENED HIM!

What are we to make of this mad world?

Where's the logic, the healthy good old-fashioned common sense?

Where's the idea of having a personal responsibility for your own actions?

Disappeared into a black hole in the name of short sightedness, extremism, and personal greed. Then gently covered with a veil of hypocrisy and lies.

When I was a kid we were brought up to be responsible for our own actions or pay the price. We seem to be evolving into a race of pampered, immature, spoilt brats who want to take but not give.
