Sounds like you have good parents.

Nice thing about a democracy is that people get the government they deserve and if they don't like what they get, they can change it without having to kill people to do so. Ballot box revolutions are so much better than the other kind.

Looks like you have good contacts with several voters--well worth finding out how to change laws you disagree with. Could take a while, but maybe they'll be a decent solution before the time you are a parent
