You don't believe in bribing children, but you would teach your children to "do what they had to do," which in this case would be to steal?

I think it's a little strange that you have a problem bribing children, but apparently don't think driving like a maniac, defrauding the airlines and taking things you're not entitled to is wrong.

jwalkabout: I don't have any power to decide your fate unless you give it to me.

By "I don't have any power..." do you mean you don't have any power to rob a bank because the tellers are behind bullet proof glass and you'd get caught, or do you mean that no one with the authority to do so has given you the power/right to take the bank's money?
