  The problem is that parents nowadays won't discipline their kids,
letting them become "spoiled brats". I got my share of spankings
growing up (my late brother got more), and I consider myself better
for it.

  On the amateur radio traffic nets that I do, there are several
folks older than me. Yet, I will still address them as Mister Roy,
Mister John, Miss Tammy, Miss Janice, etc. When asked why I do that,
I reply "RESPECT -- because if I give it, they will return it".

  Sadly, most kids nowadays have no idea what that means.
