RE: The Daily Meme #786!

authority is not the same as ownership.

mishaps happen

don't tell me... lol... I'm a parent of 3

I don't know what you call it, if it's authority, ownership or whatever word we can choose, but it's a fact that I have power over my kids, want it or not. Even if I'm a very relaxed parent, I still have power. We need to learn from very young the difference of right and wrong, we still live in a society and my freedom stops where it messes with yours. I teach my kids that all actions have consequences, good and bad, and only with authority/power/respect I can do that.

now if you want to talk about abuse of power/authority, then I can agree with you and talk a lot of shit about government/cops/etc.
