    Knives and your Children

    We don't allow our 14-year-old to carry at school, but he wishes he could.

    Thanks for the kind comments. Below is a picture of my wife and kids in 2001 just a few months before 9/11/2001. The long-haired kid in the video is the same kid below at age 6. It was pretty difficult to explain in '01 to that 6 year old why some people wanted to make those buildings he went into and posed in front of come crashing down. He is growing up in a much different world than I.

    No offense my good man, but your video didn't do much for me. Watching your kid brush his teeth, pointing a camera at September 11 on a calendar and watch him pick up a knife doesn't sell it for me.

    Show him breaking the glass on the window of a burning car that's overturned and cutting an old lady out of her seatbelt and you'd have me. I'd even settle for using the knife responsibly for a mundane task as if it was second nature...Call me brutally honest I guess.

    I now offset my slightly negative post by paying you a compliment; the cinematography was top notch :-)
