Apt description...Then again, we really might want to point the finger at ourselves/our generation, which raised children without the word "No," and without the same respect for teachers, ministers, and authority figures which was drummed into us...Those same children have been and are now creating little monsters, as aptly depicted in your limerick. What say you?

Absolutely - these kids learned what they could get away with and ran with it. Excellent point, Gershon.
