No kiddin', nor do you want to be there, either. Almost 1% of our total
population is incarcerated, probationed or paroled.

Think of it as being a "parenthood" issue. A functional family lives to
meet the needs of their children. A dysfunctional family is where the
children meet the needs of the parents. So, decide where the Power and
Authority lies, and what is done with it ...functional or
dysfunctional.

But, once Power and Authority is assumed, it contains equal and
attendant Responsibilities towards those subjugated. So, if we don't
exercise our Power and Authority, someone else shall by our default. Ric
