It's the general lack of respect that people have for
children, treating them like property, which irks me,
totally apart from education of any nature. I don't
like to see one type of human being treated as
mindless chattel to another type of human being; ie:
kids and adults.

Ditto Heidi. Kids and minors (because let's face it,
not all minors are kids, and I know some who are much
more mature than adults I know many times their age)
are the last massively abused minority.
