Ray is Right On, imo...unfortunately for many kids today, the 'parenting' is appeasement and buy-offs, and then send the kid packing, 'out of my hair', with his/her new set of gizmos, clothes, toys, cars, trips, etc.

Yes, but the road you came in to Vancouver on (from the border, and then through the Dease Tunnel to Oak Street) is the one the 13 kids were racing on. Right around the tunnel.

I agree completely with your (and Ray's) comments on the lack of parenting evident.
