With my customary tact and diplomacy, I'd probably tell them to go and get f***ed. However, if they have legal authority over you, you'll have to be a bit more tactful, I think... Point out that by their logic, they are to blame for any number of murders, because they probably know someone that knows someone that knows someone that has killed people. Point out that if it hadn't been for the unfortunate accident, they would not have legal authority over you. Ask them if they are unfairly utilising their continued power over you to twist you to their ideas. Point out that by international law, it is forbidden for a parent to coerce, punish, or force a child into line with the parents beliefs. Or you could go and see a lawyer and explain the situation. You can attempt to revoke your parents legal authority on grounds of misconduct. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!3!681!853.1!Stephen.White Internet: Stephen.White@p1.f853.n681.z3.fidonet.org
