I do agree with some of what has been said, as far as foreign countries not having this problem, but maybe their parents are more involved. Today's society is a "ME" society and that includes parents. I am just saying it is really time for parents to step up and be parents. I have an 18 year old daughter, who respects my opinion and now understands, why we had some of the rules we did. She sees what has happened to her peers. Just set an example for your children, isn't that what is the best for all involved????

The Sheriff has little to do with getting underage drinkers to stop. This is really something that has to be dealt with at home. Many and I do mean many parents allow their kids to drink. A lot of parents host or turn a shoulder to kids parting at there house. Athletic codes established by smaller communities turn a blind eye when one of their athletes or group of athletes gets in trouble, because if they don't play, they don't have a team. I know this from experience. We as parents need to grow up and stop being "friends" to our children and start being parents. It is important that our children love us, but they don't always have to like us.

On Do you believe political rhetoric had anything to do with the Jan. 8 shootings in Arizona?

Rhetoric is a huge problem, if as Americana's we can not talk civilly towards each other with out being verbally abusive, or referring to violence, then we are really not responsible Americans. However, there is not just one person or politician to blame, it is society as a whole and it is time to turn this around and start acting as a whole instead of parts.
