And I responded as I did not because I feel the need to defend my kids - both of whom, by the way, have tattoos, as do an enormous percentage of young people in their generations, but rather to point out that we really don't need to slime entire groups or classes of people.

Quite obviously to anyone other than a VIS member, your kids are clearly not in the group of whom I was speaking. But we've all been to WalMart or Walgreens or (fill in the name) and know there are plenty of lackadazical clockwatching pinheads working the minilabs. They don't all have parents like yourself who by example instill in them an admirable work ethic. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
