Parenting & Hurricane

Could parenting be taught in colleges? I don't think so but I think some parents need the boot, straight up the rear end. My trip to Uni was rather frustrating and annoying, children scream and the guardian (father I'd assume did nothing). True there are those kids that might be beyond help and the only out for the parents is Jim Beam or Scotch but this was beyond me. How is it that 2 children can drive a whole carriage of adults insane and none of us says anything? If it only these were my days, these kids would have received a good spank; and the journey would have been peaceful.

I have to admit that kids will always have extra energy and it's hard for most parents to keep up, especially with most parents trying to shed a few pounds and going on crush diets. How about dedicate a few carriages to the screaming and the hearing impaired, maybe one for the smelly ones (have u been caught unaware by some poor homeless dude in your carriage?) and maybe for one for people like me (whinging our lives away).

On a more serious note, I assume parents now are having a harder time raising their kids with all these regulations from the government. Should parents not comply, they risk having their children put in foster care. Has anyone ever scrutinised these foster homes? Some breed thugs and I doubt majority of the kids are better off. Sure there are people who aren't fit to live let alone be parents but it's absurd how the legislation is used to monitor parenting.

I was whinging about noisy kids but obviously that has been lost in the midst of more whinging. Hurricane Katrina surely has the world questioning the American response, in the movies did we have them immobilise search and rescue in a matter of hours? I remember very well in the Volcano Tommy Lee was there guiding the evacuation, even worse this was a volcano under the city and no one was sure what would happen. A hurricane warning is given and people still remain in their homes, silly, optimistic or plain arrogant? Media coverage has been unprecedented but why is less being done than during the Tsunami?

Citizens of other countries are blaming their own governments of doing little to rescue their fellow citizens. Australians too have fallen in this government blame-shifting tactic that has seen their government take defensive action. The opposition leader has bee quoted to have said that their diplomats and government troops should jump American helicopters to rescue Australians. Would anyone doubt the intellect of such utterings, break American laws to rescue people who ignored the warnings. They are tourists who opted to experience natures thrill ride, and you want to jeopardise international relations to rescue them? Would you leave the other foreign citizens behind? Oh! I see, each man for himself
