Unfortunately, my oldest brother Jim shattered this theory long ago. Jim is many things, but conservative he ain't. You might say he cut a rather large swath for brother Randy, sister Anne and me. Its kind of hard to get in trouble for coming home a little late when your parents are wondering why your oldest brother encouraged your other brother to spontaneously jump in the car and go to New Orleans. But for George, rules are generally to be observed and obeyed.
Authority is to be trusted and respected.
Which is not such a bad thing. Most of the time. I was hoping my passive response would add to the confidence he had finally found. In truth, I was downright excited about the prospect of George taking the leap. He had been pondering it for a couple of seasons now.
