My mom was a nurse so I was a latch key kid before it was fashionable and my dad was a truck driver. They installed my very liberal values in me.

I won't take the blame from the kids. I told my daughter not to turn into an evil pirate like some of my generation did. Being a pirate is fine as long as you are liberal and not evil.
