Oh Jackie, driving is the worst!! Time to retire and enjoy your life. Road rage seems to be a "safe" form of violence because no one can see your face, unless of course you have a wreck. I, myself, get enraged at stupid people who drive like fools and never appear to get caught. I think that enrages me more than the fool. Where is the Hiway Patrol? You are absolutely right, respect begins at home. My husband and I were talking about this very thing tonight and how the boys are suffering. What makes a boy a man and where are the opportunities today for a boy to become a man? There is no father in the home in so many families today, there is no required military time. At least a boy should be required to go through boot camp. My husband said if the boy goes, then the girls should go to. Don't know if that is a bad idea. Then as the young men get older, the women don't need him to either father her children or help raise them. I know several young men who spend all their time on the games. They didn't do well in college so they dropped out, living at home with parents, spend all their time at home on games, don't date but might go out occasionally. Really, no interaction with humanity other than time at work. What makes a boy a man? This all goes along with accomplishment and self-esteem, or lack there of.
