Drive-by quote for the week

This weekend is Father's Day, and while I fully intend to write a long, thoughful piece on fatherhood before then, today's quote from P. J. O'Rourke makes a much more succinct point about a parenting style I lean toward myself:

Children from the age of five to ten should watch more television. Television depicts adults as rotten SOB's, given to fistfights, gunplay, and other mayhem. Kids who believe this about grownups aren't likely to argue about bedtime.

Preach it, P.J.!
