Beat that metaphor to death!
I guess that is my beef with Hyde: its self appointed Popehood of the "Truth." There is something inherently untruthful about it. Oh well. I guess if you go there and it does not work it sucks to be you.

I went there.
it did not work.
it sucks to be me.
it must suck to be my parents too.
all Hyde feeds us are big lies
with little bits of truths mixd in!

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Hyde places the onus for the success of its nostrums on the patient (Joe likes this metaphor), so clearly when the panacea does pan out it was not swallowed correctly.

Hyde does consider the physician to be infallible. I guess that is why he prefers to operate on teenagers, known to swallow correctly but a fraction of the time. Malpractice insurance must be lower, since the frequent botched operations can always be blamed on the patient.

There is a lot of truth in what Joe has to say. But he is not infallible and has no more claim to know the "Truth" then any of the other carbon based life forms on this planet.

Well, sometimes it does suck to be me, but I rather like me, all things considered, despite apparently popular contention that I should not. And since I am the one who ends up spending the most time with me, I rather think my opinion counts more than the clamor of the mob.

Okay, here's the second one. I have to laugh, ha ha haaa, thinking about this one being applied at Hyde. Too many rules? oh pahleeze... The hypocrisy just gets bigger and bigger...
Vis-s-vis applying the below to a single family situation... Aren't we splitting a few semantic hairs here? Of course everyone knows that principles are at the core of most rules made. DUH! But rules are the short, sweet, and most practical in carrying out the principles in the day to day. Maybe I find it a bit counter productive having a philosophical discussion about filial responsibilities and caring for the needs of one's fellow human being every time the garbage needs to be taken out.
Maybe this one needs to be filed under "Lame, Lame, and more Lame."
============================
Priority #2
Principles Over Rules
It is so easy to focus on rules, especially when things are starting to spin out of control. "There is no eating in THAT room, either!" Rules are not unimportant, but they will not take us where we want to go with our children. Instead, our primary focus should be to identify what is at the center of our family. If it is the behavior and actions of a particular person, we need to replace that with the specific principles we hold sacred, such as honesty, courage, etc. Rules placed at the center of the family allow us to focus only on the actions of our children. Principles at the center of the family place the focus on the entire family. Living up to principles is a lifelong process.
