Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 16, 2009

Actually, a month’s grounding from any and all TV would be appropriate and might do her some good.

Danae discovered one of Grace Hopper’s proverbs: It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.

A good paddling would be a great attitude adjustment tool.

Touche little one!

Good one, Wiley!

Wicky: Amen to that.

“Joe” is how I see myself when facing the world (Danae). I’ll just go back to sleep.

The movie named Joe?

It used to mean that by “acting adult” you took responsibility for your actions and owned up to your debts. Now with the culture of celebrity, it seems that the more childish one acts the more accolades are heaped upon them. This applies to politicians as well as those who revel in the celebrity status. We need not return to puritanism, but do need to teach that there are consequences for your actions. Life is not black and white, so our responses do need to be tempered with logic and justice.

It’s shameful how so many kids act like children.

Wndrwrthg’s on to something. I’m going to go on an alcohol and cocaine binge, beat up some hotel worker with my cell phone, drive my car into the side of a national monument, blame it on my parents spanking me, go into rehab, and cut a deal with Oprah or Geraldo or maybe Rachael Ray.

Danae, you perceive what too many of us have become.
