    It's politically incorrect to say that the happy medium begins with parental supervision and discipline.

    When I was young we had curfews and did not rove around the streets in gangs at night and a clip around the ear was not construed as an assault.

    There was no loud music because the little gramophones we had were incapable of making much noise.

    I know that every generation can look back to the "good old days" of their youth" and compare them with the present.

    But maybe the equation has overbalanced.

    The Houston Police Department are well behaved; but, the State Troopers are mean SoBs, with chips on their shoulders even off the highway.
