Trauma-list discussions are repeatedly deteriorating into these non-productive shouting matches.  Each one is followed by a mass of unsubscriptions of people who signed up to learn about trauma.  I have sent cease and desist orders to Tom, Pret and others.   But the same has to come from your 'side' too.  I'd be grateful if you could try to rise above the political jibes and steer conversations back towards trauma care.

Thanks!

Thank you very much, Roy.  I am right there with you.  And as to the
people who use the schools for day care, it is those same folks who have
forgotten that discipline and consequences are actual and real words in
the dictionary, and as such they will be the first to sue the school and
the teacher for imposing the former and teaching the latter!!

Yeah, and I'm not here to complain or whine.  But my mom raised my
sister and I on a teacher's salary in the 60's, 70's and 80's.  We had
junk cars...gas prices were outrageous...my dad never paid a red cent in
support...we actually went almost a year without a refrigerator and at
one time had no hot water for 2 years (we boiled water on the electric
stove and took baths with very little water)...and we never took
assistance.  It (living) can be done on very little money.  And, places
like starbucks and mcD's have great benefits packages.  It just kills
me.

I'd much rather support a dubious war and long waits in the airport
security line for a safer America, than a bunch of lazy so-and-so's who
just don't want to get up early or work late.

I'm not saying assistance is wrong, but it is very much abused.

And don't even get me started on those who pay taxes and send their
kids to private schools, home schooling or the lack of discipline in the
public schools!  As for the latter, I think, like public hospitals, they
are doing a good, if not great thing, with very little.  Problem is, the
same folks who jam the ERs with an earache, sore throat or rash (that's
been there for a month) are using the public schools as child care and
rearing.  I remember getting spanked with a paddle in grade school. 
Quite certain I deserved it and learned from it...

But, I digress...
