"He who is allowed to sin, sins less." Makes me think of financial guru Dave Ramsey [who I am trying, trying, trying to follow] and his "blow money." You put a small amount of money in your budget that you can just spend.

I wouldn't advocate licentiousness, esp with young children. But I do thik giving them choices, or perhaps choices with limits, works. <BR/><BR/>Greg, I agree with freedom wrt goverance, too. But not laissez fair - i think there can be an argument for a government encouraging what is morally right. And protectng rights, esp the rights of the young and of those unable to choose for themselves.Leoniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596513344737230084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-39250477269179119752008-12-22T17:56:00.000+11:002008-12-22T17:56:00.000+11:00I agree wholeheartedly with your post!

It is better to let adults make bad choices that are their own than compel them to make good choices that are yours. We have free will for a reason!Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259170503849606340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-23531666211075702102008-12-22T15:20:00.000+11:002008-12-22T15:20:00.000+11:00I like your take on this.

I do not know, I firmly hold to this, but I guess I am not sold on it either.<BR/>I love what you said about your reading, leading and forming your conscience, I suppose I see your point, when the good literature is a constant source of influence.<BR/>Again, this is pricking me to ponder much.mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607608305516322502noreply@blogger.com
