Thanks, Deanna. That's a great take on heroes. I love Batman in particular and his reasons for standing for justice. He shows a dark side at times and is very human.

You're right about kids and culture. I've been reading your recent articles with great interest. I think we both grew up in similar situations. Some of my friends weren't allowed to do certain things or watch certain things. My parents were strict, but they took an approach that was less liberal than mine - they taught me what was right and encouraged me to make the right decisions. It's a freeing thing to trust your children. But, we also have to maintain an eye on them too.

Thanks for your comment!
