For our user agree- ment, click here . When I was a kid in the 1940s, Friday night was time for a boyfriend to come by in his car or his parents' car, and we were off to the drive-in movie. The movie was over after midnight. Today, if a kid would try the same thing, police would pull him over and haul the whole bunch off to the police station, call the parents, and the driver would lose his driving privileges. At the rate they are going, we might as well build stockades, and the day a child turns 13, lock him up until he turns 20 years old.
People complain about teen-agers.
If we expect our young people to respect us and the law, then it's time to respect them in return. It seems to me that our lawmakers should concentrate on making sensible laws and quit picking on teen-agers.
