#6 When I was 3 years old and would "respond emotionally and inappropriately," my Mother had some very effective ways of helping me learn to respond to things appropriately. She is still alive if Mr. Cox would care to meet her for some helpful hints (first hint: prepare for a VERY sore backside for a while.)

#9 A rational human being who prioritizes the survival of his family and nation over that of his nations enemies. I also believe that you give people clear, concise and pointed examples in why everyone should obey the law and woe unto he that does not.

I believe in PUNISHMENT for people's crimes. Jail is not punishment. If you have laws, they need to be obeyed. People today take little to no responsibility for actions that might be immoral and horrible, but are currently legal. This leads to them feeling like they are above the law and the law is for the peons who clean and even worse, 'make' things.

In the end, all humans are people, but some people aren't humans. Frank Herbert had that right.
