People who think of themselves as tough parents who rule with an iron fist are usually just bullies who have easy kids. All kids are either easy kids or tough kids. With easy kids, everything works; with tough kids, you have to work and figure out how to talk to your kid so they don't walk all over you but at the same time you don't have to spend every waking moment yelling and threatening and punishing and yelling some more. The Iron Fist approach works for about one day with a tough kid, and then they figure out how to beat you at your own game. Anyone who has tried Iron Fist with a tough kid knows that. That Tiger Mother lady wouldn't last for a week with MY god-damned kids. She doesn't know how to do anything but bully.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03159566695987711014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10241627.post-11378737068281322972011-04-11T12:15:58.993-07:002011-04-11T12:15:58.993-07:00If successful, I would absolutely appoint Lloyd Da...If successful, I would absolutely appoint Lloyd Dangle to help our team communicate.<br /><br />I'm running for mayor as a means communicate ideas because it may be one of the last ways to really implement policy changes that Dangle often describes so effectively as necessary in T'town.<br /><br />Lloyd, I'm counting on you to provide Graphic Recording for the Campaign and the City if I am elected, to explain some of the more complicated ideas to SF voters: things like IRV or Instant Runoff Voting, new forms of taxation or laws and evaluations of how the City spends its resources.<br /><br />For twenty-two years you've been excellent at making complicated things clear through Troubletown.<br /><br />Your strip will be missed by many many thousands of San Franciscans who still know how to read newspapers, but I am confident your influence via the Internets and other media are going to continue to have a positive effect.<br /><br />And of course, you always have my ear.<br /><br />Yours,<br />Karthik Rajan<br />Candidate for Mayor of SF 2011Karthik Rajanhttp://karthikrajanformayor.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
