I order a latte and Barrista #1  picks up a cup, writes my name and order on it and hands it off to Barritsa #2 who proceeds to whip up my drink (140 degrees thank you very much) and hand it to me.  As I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  When I was a kid  my parents were NEVER concerned about who we kids would get for a teacher each year. In fact, I&#8217;m pretty sure they never even thought about it. There was no discussion, no debate, nothing that indicated they even had clue one as to who was even teaching at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  When I was a kid whenever we misbehaved we were treated to the belt or the spoon, depending on if the punisher was our dad or our mom. (My mom&#8217;s Italian so a wooden spoon was a natural extension of her arm and therefore a logical &#8211; and handy &#8211; correctional tool).  Back then, corporal punishment was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  We live in an era of obsession with child safety. When I was a kid child safety came in the form of  a loud, resounding, &#8220;NO!&#8221; emanating from a nearby irritated adult.  It was cheap and that single word pretty much summed up everything a parent had to do/fork over in order to childproof their home.

		<description><![CDATA[  Ever heard the saying &#8220;looking at life through rose-colored glasses&#8221;? Then you know it refers to someone who looks at life with a rosy optimism. I wish I was guilty of that. I&#8217;ve always envied people who manage to be endlessly upbeat and full of optimism and hope. You know them, they&#8217;re the ones [...]]]></description>

However, my attention has been drawn to yet another horrific example that has popped up this week of bad parenting.
