hi all, I would like to commit "blaspemy" by suggesting that the
"good, bad little boy" quote, (as is, out of context) smacks of
romanticism. Who determines that a little girl or boy "is good or
bad"? Can a little girl or boy "be good or bad"? I am not so sure
that this quote quite adresses these issues, while certainly
feeding the "Dennis the Mennice" or "Angelina Ballerina"
stereotypes. I am sure there is far more to it, but "as is" sounds
really off to me.
