Responsibility

"I have watched good kids from good families make bad choices, and kids with no seeming chance make good choices. But one thing I have observed. Very few teenagers make the hard choice without some outside encouragement or help in understanding the known consequences, from some source. They nearly always opt for the choice that involves the most fun and/or the least immediate pain, and then learn later that they now have to make yet another choice as a consequence of the original one. And thus they grow up. So quickly."

Excellent. The whole newsletter was as well and goes on, as you obviously know, to apply that lesson to choices we have collectively made over the last three+ decades. Highly recommended. We're facing a difficult and turbulent decade as the consequences of our choices and people are refusing to come to grips with them. But, as Mauldin goes on to point out, dealing with them will be unavoidable.
