• Meet the ‘Meanest Mother in Wyoming’ — Another Example of Good Parenting?

  January 11, 2013 at 4:56pm

  In reply to PiratePhil.

  I do not agree. Had he been home close to his curfew, and simply been ticketed for speeding (as in I was trying to get home on time… wink wink) I would consider the second chance theory as being very much in the running. Probably would have grounded for tardiness and to give him time to think about the dangers of speeding. MAY have helped to pay that first ticket — expecting him to pay it back. BUT this was not simply a speeding ticket, and was NOT just a little late, even after texting he’d be home soon. Sorry, this involved underage drinking, driving while under the influence (How many were with him in that truck??) endangering himself and others (those in the truck with him, and those outside his truck). Had he said “YES, Mom — I need a ride home” when she asked, THEN a second chance may have been extended. BUT HE DID NOT DO THAT, either! THAT WAS his second chance, as far as I am concerned!!!

  And you can ask my now adult kids. I was the Meanest Mom (also most OLD-FASHIONED MOM) in the whole world in the day, and they lived because of it. I was a PARENT, and NOW I am their friend. I was the ONLY PARENT for most of that time, too.

  Freeman notes there is no “white history month,” and says the only way to get rid of racism is to “stop talking about it.”

  The actor says he believes the labels “black” and “white” are an obstacle to beating racism.

  “I am going to stop calling you a white man and I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man,” Freeman says.

• So Why Is Glenn in the Holy Land?

  The Six Day War was June 5-10th, 1967, when I graduated from High School. They took Jerusalem on 6/7/67. The Israeli Knesset passed a law that extended its legal and administrative jurisdiction to all of Jerusalem on June 27, 1967. There is a recorded radio broadcasted description of entering Jerusalem, ending with them singing Ha Tikvah on the internet someplace, but the transcript of that event is here:
