Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] [INSANITY] I don't know what

Oh.. just to be clear, I wasn't upset... It was just a chance to get on 
my soapbox about a couple of issues that have pissed me off for years.

Btw.. I've heard parent's tell their children that they are incurring 
God's wrath and/or sinning if they pick their nose....  I've heard 
secular parents say things similarly bad... Other consequences for bad 
behavior, not necessarily going blind :)

I think if I was a teacher in school and caught a child doing it or 
eating it, I would calmly tell them, "I hope you brought enough for 
everybody."
