The questions becomes what would have made Ethan's parents wake up to the fact that they had a alienated kid? Certainly the call down to the school where they were showed disturbing evidence of something gravely amiss didn't do it...

Fact is... THAT THEY DID NOT WANT TO SEE A PROBLEM OR DEAL WITH IT. With mommy texting Ethan "Dont do it" they had some inkling that their child was on the edge..

Then what did Mommy and Daddy do but flee...when they were going to be held accountable...

So now Ethan can smile and say, "Try getting out of this one Mommy and Daddy." They are lookin at 60 years plus 30K each..for sumthin JR did.

American society has become one of denial and not wanting to deal with reality in a responsible fashion. That has been the essence of my message for decades..Writ large everybody can take a look at this nations numbers and see if they chose just how BK this nation is..and nobody is responsible enough to want to deal with it..in that even the best of the savers are complicit, you just keep saying how wonderful you are doing while Rome burns.. BTW the numbers are SYMPTOM AND NOT CAUSATION.
