Lines: 10 Regarding: "[Allowing] children [to] call adults by their first names ...breeds illmannered and impolite people..." Oh come now. Calling people by their first name has nothing to do with encouraging rudeness or inconsiderate behavior. Unless, of course, you define children calling adults by their first name as impolite, in which case you have a tautology, but are missing the point. --K. Wilber (iheds!kmw or mvuxt!kw)
