Excellent message Chez, adults ARE like children in that respect. We tend to live up to what is expected by those around us. And it this techno-society, the people around us are often not really people, but actors on a screen. The average kid (and probably many adults too) watch 5 hours of television every day. They are bombarded by the message that it's ok to do the wrong thing as long as you profit by it and get away before you are caught doing it.

Yes, Steve, I told some little white lies as a kid.....no one is perfect, didn't mean to sound that way. Never lied to my parents though, cause in the small farming town I grew up in everything you did was common knowledge and if my Daddy found out about it, like yours, there would be Hell to pay.<br />
I'm just saying I didn't get a warm, fuzzy feeling from your story. You were guilty of defacing private property, expensive private property, and by letting you off, Uncle Weldon just perpetuated your…

I'm just saying I didn't get a warm, fuzzy feeling from your story. You were guilty of defacing private property, expensive private property, and by letting you off, Uncle Weldon just perpetuated your wrong-doing giving the impression at an early age that that type of behaviour would be tolerated and was ok as long as no one found out.<br />

It is no longer common to live a whole lifetime in the same town where we were born, where our family is, and where everyone knows us. When you don't know someone, you deal with them differently, require more assurances. Some people take advantage of this. We need to be aware, prudent... but often a person will be only as good as you expect them to be. Just like children, if they know you expect the worst, very often you'll get it in spades.

I have to ask...."What in the world possessed you to do such a thing?" And don't tell me you were just young kids.....even at 7 or 8 you knew right from wrong or at least should have. Sorry, man, but Uncle Weldon did you no favor by letting you get away with that. Had I been Uncle Weldon you would still be recuperating to this day. You and your brother showed no honesty in not owning up to your deeds. You lied.<br />
I do agree that simple, sincere honesty is slipping away, for many reasons....money…
