But today's heavily structured and taxed society dictates that both parents must work long hours simply to survive. Its not too late to improve this situation, all it takes is getting everyone out to vote in the next elections. Then comes the examples of civility, morality and character we, as adults, and those in government, as leaders, provide for the children of today. From the President on down to the cop on the beat, our children are encouraged to observe and learn from what they see. Or, got the opportunity to watch some of the rather explicit programming on cable at a friend's or even their own homes.
Sexuality is a normal part of growing up and the accompanying curiosity is always going to be there.
In the case of egomaniacal politicians, crooked politicians and crooked or egomaniacal cops there is no real curiosity on the part of observing kids. For example, and this is an excellent example as far as social studies is concerned. Democracy at work, representing the people, moving government forward and making decisions that the children, tomorrow's leaders, would easily see as having been done with the voice of the people in mind and the nation's future being enhanced. I don't think so. Maybe you feel they did.
