Unfortunately they just have to ask a lot of them before they get the right answer. Gene is the best. He's a guy's guy. He's proud of his gender and will not be manipulated into watering down his beliefs. I think most people could learn a lesson from him. His attitude towards parenting is spot on. Anyone who criticizes him, doesn't understand him like he says. I understand him so I like and admire the man. Of course they do.

But the guy obviously has his life under control. Excellent parenting advice - last night I watch Dancing with the Stars and heard Ozzy Osbourne give some advice to his injured daughter - it was common sense and so refreshing, unlike all the puffed up counsellors/therapists.

But like George Lucas, a marketing genius. If he were a philanthropist, like Bill Gates, then he'd be much more admirable. Like Trump, has an ego. But like George Lucas, a marketing genius.

Anyways, he gives very sound parenting advice in very concise terms. Too bad more people don't heed his advice. I've always found it stupefying that grown men and women allow their young children to argue and negotiate with them. If a parent thinks a 4-year old has a valid counter argument to their judgment, that parent might want to consider not having more children.

Never liked Kiss -- it was always the guys who dug KISS -- but I get a kick out of his family. The kids are gorgeous, and so is Shannon Tweed. Go Simmons Family! This was great fun to read.
