I would just add one other thing. Somebody may think that I am one of those extreme conservative radicals. A father, a grandfather, I deliver babies on the weekend still. I love children. But I also know if they do not have guidance and if they do not have discipline, they are going to be in trouble, and they desire that guidance. Do not ever kid yourself.
