gun culture

a lot has to be said.the boy's father NOW regrets for having taught his son 'shooting'.
I am always against this practice. I blame the parents who are over enthusiastic. things are to be learnt at the correct age and in the correct manner.
one of my friends ,[ very good gentleman in all other aspects ], while driving will have his two year old son on his lap, give the stearing in the child's hand ,and will say, 'turn right',,turn left''''.
i am damn sure the child never understood 'left and right '.
and the vehicle will sway, and i have seen so many cursing this gentleman.
On Friday, two persons were killed by a BENZ .obviously, the driver is a 16 year old frolicking teenager who cannot understand the value of life. [ the worst part of the story is that his father trying to save his son by making someone else the scapegoat. ].
Why do we develop this fancy? mainly because of two things.
1] easy money and lots and lots of money.
2]the middle class phobia or syndrom : the middle class parents want their kids to enjoy what they could not.They want their kids to be the 'all knowing and all skillful '. Ofcorse, everyone has the right to aspire. I don't deny. but, check first ,whether your son and daughter are capable of doing it. Do not give them false hopes. Do not burden them just to satiate your inner hunger and inferiority complex.
Can you say for sure that a two year child has any road sense and road judgement ? Can it calculate and decide the vehicle 's size and speed before it overtakes ?
There are so many fields where a child can do feats.It can learn 100 languages, learn so many other things which are not risky and especially NOT AT THE COST OF OTHERS' LIVES.
with luv and luv only,
