Nonsense, whip 'em, beat 'em, make 'em cower. Prepare 'em for the corporate overlords.

In my house and family, I make the rules. If the minors in my house don't like the rules, they are free to campaign to change them. This may or may not be successful depending on their reasoning and campaign promises (as well as follow-through).
We also do not attempt to skate around rules other people have for themselves or their organizations. So since MySpace has an age limit of 14, my 12 yr old may not pretend to be 15 in order to put up a page. I do not invade their privacy unless they break the rules, or give me reason to not trust them. For example, my children are not allowed to do illegal drugs or alcohol. If they smell of either one, or I see a beer bottle/roach in the trash, all trust/privacy issues are nil. They have forfeited that right by breaking my trust. Full search and seizure will ensue as well as heavy restrictions in their freedom. My goal is to raise responsible, honorable young adults who behave with integrity. I want them to understand that any choice you make has consequences and to consider that before you choose. I also want them to realize that they are not powerless and totally at the mercy of external forces. I'm trying to teach them that if they disagree with a rule, law or a political leader/direction, they can attempt to change the situation, through lawful means. Stormie
