Interesting question. Thank you. The answer is maybe. Personally I have a very hard time with people in general that are unable to sort the fundamental things needed to control their life without resorting to this type of drastic behavior (unless there is a proven medical reason). I think a large number of people in the last 2 generations have a hard time with being discipline. I was born in the early 70s.

Also you are right the story was a bit on the "do this now side" of things..

So sure my reaction is a bit of how it was written along with own personal view point.

But you know it could just be me screaming "get off my lawn!"
