book 'em, Dan-o

There's lots of self-righteous sound and fury about the story in the news of an unruly five year-old girl being handcuffed because of her behavioral issues. It seems that a lot of people think the police went "too far."

Seems to me the real and completely overlooked issue is that the slovenly and lackadaisical parents of the girl didn't go "far enough" in teaching her how to behave in the company of her fellow humans.

In other words, if you don't properly educate your spawn the rest of us have no choice but to do it ourselves.
